Ezequiel 44:20

20 Y no raparán su cabeza, ni dejarán crecer el cabello; sino que lo recortarán trasquilando sus cabezas.

Ezequiel 44:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 44:20

Neither shall they shave their heads
As the priests and worshippers of Isis and Serapis did, as Jerom on the text observes; and as the Romish priests now do, from whom the Lord's faithful ministers must be distinguished: nor suffer their locks to grow long;
as the Nazarites, that a distinction might be preserved between those who were and were not such; or rather, after the manner of women, their locks hanging down, and flowing about their shoulders, as a token of levity, wantonness, effeminacy, pride, and vanity; see ( 1 Corinthians 11:14 1 Corinthians 11:15 ) : they shall only poll their heads;
observe a medium between both; neither shave their heads close, nor let their hair grow long, but keep it in an even moderate length; for which reason godly men of the last age among us were called "round heads".

19 Y cuando salieren al atrio de afuera, al atrio de afuera al pueblo, se desnudarán de sus vestimentas con que ministraron, y las dejarán en las cámaras del santuario, y se vestirán de otros vestidos: así no santificarán el pueblo con sus vestimentas.

20 Y no raparán su cabeza, ni dejarán crecer el cabello; sino que lo recortarán trasquilando sus cabezas.

21 Y ninguno de los sacerdotes beberá vino cuando hubieren de entrar en el atrio interior.

22 Ni viuda, ni repudiada se tomarán por mujeres; sino que tomarán vírgenes del linaje de la casa de Israel, ó viuda que fuere viuda de sacerdote.
