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. Leviticus 21:5; Deuteronomy 14:1; Jeremiah 16:6 . Baldness is one of the judgements of the Lord: perhaps they would make themselves bald in their distress. Isaiah 3:24; Isaiah 15:2; Isaiah 22:12; Ezekiel 7:18; Amos 8:10; Micah 1:16 . See NAZARITE.
