NETBible

Priests 1  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. 2 

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “they”; the referent (priests, see the beginning of v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn 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).
