Ezekiel 44:20 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads. Neither shall they shave their heads - The priests of Isis shaved their heads close to the skin; the priests of Budhoo do so still, their ordinances oblige them to shave their heads every tenth day. To let the hair grow long would have been improper; therefore the Lord commands them to poll - cut the hair short, but not to shave.

Ezekiel 44:20
