'Slash' in the Bible
You must not slash your body for a dead person or incise a tattoo on yourself. I am the Lord.
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.
