Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Neither . . . shave . . . heads—as mourners do (Leviticus 21:1-5). The worshippers of the Egyptian idols Serapis and Isis shaved their heads; another reason why Jehovah's priests are not to do so.
nor suffer . . . locks to grow long—as the luxurious, barbarians, and soldiers in warfare did [JEROME].
