5 ‎[1] THEY SHALL NOT MAKE BALDNESS UPON THEIR HEAD. Over the dead.
‎[2] THE CORNERS OF THEIR BEARD. Over the dead, as is the practice in places in the land of the Chaldeans. The meaning of the *corners of thy beard* (Lev. 19:27) is thus clarified.
‎[3] *Saratet* (cuttings) means even one cut. Israel has already been cautioned not to do these things. The reason Scripture warns the *kohanim* about this is that one who has a bald head, or whose beard has been shorn, or whose flesh is cut shall not serve before the Lord.
