'Baldness' in the Bible
They shall not make any baldness on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts in their flesh.
“Baldness has come upon Gaza;Ashkelon has been ruined.O remnant of their valley,How long will you gash yourself?
They will gird themselves with sackcloth and shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads.
“Then I will turn your festivals into mourningAnd all your songs into lamentation;And I will bring sackcloth on everyone’s loinsAnd baldness on every head.And I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son,And the end of it will be like a bitter day.
Make yourself bald and cut off your hair,Because of the children of your delight;Extend your baldness like the eagle,For they will go from you into exile.
