And you shall not make a slash in your body for a dead person, nor shall you make on yourselves a tattoo's mark; I [am] Yahweh.

All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salchah:

You are to burn up a third of it in the city when the days of the siege have ended; you are to take a third and slash it with the sword all around the city; and you are to scatter a third to the wind, for I will draw a sword to chase after them.

Slash to the right;
turn to the left—
wherever your blade is directed.

That army will pelt them with stones and slash them with their swords; they will kill their sons and daughters and burn their houses.

They do not cry to Me from their hearts;
rather, they wail on their beds.
They slash themselves for grain and new wine;
they turn away from Me.

Now, daughter who is under attack,
you slash yourself in grief;
a siege is set against us!
They are striking the judge of Israel
on the cheek with a rod.

and one of them struck a servant of the high priest, and slash'd off his right ear.

This wisdom is not the wisdom that comes down from above; but is earthly, soulish, demoniacal!
