4 He shall not lament for the [a]Prince among his people, to pollute himself.
5 They shall not make (A)bald parts upon their head, nor shave off the locks of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not pollute the Name of their God: for the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
