The Israelites were forbidden to cut themselves or to make themselves bald for the dead, as the heathen did; for they were a holy people unto the Lord. Lev. 21: 5; Deut. 14: 1; Jer. 16: 6. Baldness is one of the judgements of the Lord: perhaps they would make themselves bald in their distress. Isa. 3: 24; Isa. 15: 2; Isa. 22:
12; Ezek. 7: 18; Amos 8: 10; Micah 1: 16. See NAZARITE.
