Commentary on Leviticus 19:282 voices
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead,.... Either with their nails, tearing their cheeks and other parts, or with any instrument, knife, razor, &c.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Any cuttings in your flesh for the dead - That the ancients were very violent in their grief, tearing the hair and face, beating the breast, etc., is well known. Virgil represents the sister of Dido tearing her face with her nails, and beating her breast with her fists. Unguibus ora soror foedans, et pectora pugnis. Aen., l. iv., ver. 6
