Leviticus 14:9

14:9 When the seventh day comes ¹  he must shave all his hair – his head, his beard, his eyebrows, all his hair – and he must wash his clothes, bathe his body in water, and so be clean. ² 

Leviticus 21:5

21:5 Priests ³  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. ⁴

¹ tn Heb “And it shall be on the seventh day.”

² tn Heb “and he shall be clean” (see the note on v. 8).

³ tn Heb “they”; the referent (priests, see the beginning of v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ 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).
