The Dead: Heathenish Expressions of Grief For, Forbidden

You must not make any cuts in your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,

…for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.
