²⁷ You are not to cut off the hair at the sides of your head or mar the edge of your beard.^(A)

²⁶ Egypt, Judah, Edom, the Ammonites, Moab, and all the inhabitants of the desert who clip the hair on their temples.^[a] All these nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.” ’^(A)
