Bible Question:
can you explain to me what does EZEKIEL 44:20 Neither shall they shave their head, nor suffer their locks to grow long;they shall only poll their heads |
Bible Answer: Perhaps an alternate reading with help Ezekiel 44:20 They shall neither shave their heads nor let their hair grow long; but they shall keep their hair well trimmed. NKJV The prophet is talking about moderation and holiness in their priestly service. Various standards govern priestly service, such as moderation (v. 20) and sobriety (v. 21). They will model holy behavior as they teach the people to live their lives set apart to God (vv. 23,24). Minutia about dress (such as forbidding the uncleanness of sweat resulting from wearing wool), marriage (cf. Lev. 21:14), contact with dead bodies, etc. point more naturally to a literal fulfillment than to a generalized blurring of details in a symbolical interpretation. MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997).
