Leviticus 21:5
5Priests ▼ must not have a bald spot shaved on their head, they must not shave the corner of their beard, and they must not cut slashes in their body. ▼▼ Heb “and in their body they shall not [cut] slash[es]” (cf. Lev 19:28). The context connects these sorts of mutilations with mourning rites (cf. Lev 19:27–28 above).
