| Jeremiah 16:6 | Both the great and the little shall die in this land: they shall not be buried nor lamented, and men shall not cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them. | Cut. Moses prohibited this being done in honour of Adonis, Leviticus 19:27., Deuteronomy 14:1., and Ezechiel 27:31. "The custom of cutting the arms and hair still subsists in Judea," says St. Jerome; and in other countries. (Plut.[Plutarch?] Herodotus 4:71.) |
