  This custom is also called rounding the corners of the head,
  (ch. 27 19:27,) and seems to have been performed in honor of
  some idol.

  The Hebrew {peath zakon}, may denote the whiskers; as the
  Syriac {phatho} signifies.  These are by the Arabs, according
  to Niebuhr, still cut entirely off, or worn quite short; and
  hence they are called by Jeremiah, [            ,] those with
  cropped whiskers.  Perhaps some superstition, of which we are
  ignorant, was connected with this; but whether or not, it was
  the object of Moses to keep the Israelites distinct from
  other nations.

   * Ge 37:34 Job 1:20 Mt 26:65
  All human corpses were considered as unclean.  Whoever
  touched one was unclean for seven days, and was obliged on
  the third and seventh day to purify himself according to the
  Mosaic instructions.  In the case of the priest it went still
  farther; insomuch, that even mourning for the dead by any
  external sign, such as tearing their clothes, defiled them.
  Hence such mournings were absolutely forbidden to be used in
  any case, and by the other priests also, except in the case
  of their very nearest relations, for whom they were allowed
  to mourn.  This statue is founded on the importance of
  sustaining the decency and purity of Divine worship.  The
  servants of the Deity were to keep themselves at a distance
  from every thing that in the least degree savored of
  uncleanness.
