Thematic Bible
Mourning » Covering » The upper lip
Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy turban upon thee, and put thy sandals upon thy feet, and cover not the beard, and eat not the bread of men.
And as to the leper in whom the sore is, his garments shall be rent, and his head shall be uncovered, and he shall put a covering on his beard, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean!
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover the beard, neither eat the bread of men;
And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners confounded; and they shall all cover their lips, for there will be no answer of God.
