Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.

Ihr Haupt sollen sie nicht kahl scheren, und sollen auch nicht die Haare frei wachsen lassen, sondern sollen die Haare umher verschneiden.
Y no raparán su cabeza, ni dejarán crecer el cabello; sino que lo recortarán trasquilando sus cabezas.
No se raparán la cabeza ni se dejarán crecer el cabello sin recortarlo; deberán recortarse el cabello.
Ils ne se raseront pas la tête, et ne laisseront pas non plus croître leurs cheveux; mais ils devront couper leur chevelure.
E non radansi il capo, nè nudrichino la chioma; tondansi schiettamente il capo.
E não raparão a sua cabeça, nem deixarão crescer o cabelo; antes, como convém, tosquiarão as suas cabeças.
他們不可剃頭,也不可留長髮,頭髮一定要修剪。
