Ezequiel 44:20

20 Não raparão a cabeça, nem deixarão crescer o cabelo; tão somente tosquiarão as cabeças.

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 E quando saírem ao átrio exterior, a ter com o povo, despirão as suas vestes em que houverem ministrado, pô-las-ão nas santas câmaras, e se vestirão de outras vestes, para que com as suas vestes não transmitam a santidade ao povo.

20 Não raparão a cabeça, nem deixarão crescer o cabelo; tão somente tosquiarão as cabeças.
