Sie sollen auch keine Platte machen auf ihrem Haupt noch ihren Bart abscheren und an ihrem Leib kein Mal stechen.
No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguños.
No se harán calvas en la cabeza ni se rasurarán los bordes de la barba, ni se harán cortes en el cuerpo.
Les sacrificateurs ne se feront point de place chauve sur la tête, ils ne raseront point les coins de leur barbe, et ils ne feront point d'incisions dans leur chair.
Non dipelinsi il capo, e non radansi i canti della barba, e non facciansi tagliature nelle carni.
Não farão calva na sua cabeça, e não raparão as extremidades da sua barba, nem darão golpes na sua carne.
「不可使頭光禿,不可剃除鬍鬚的邊緣,也不可割劃自己的身體。
