Don't shave your beard or cut the sides of your head

  • www.torahlife.tv Someone asked me about Leviticus 19:27
    "You shall not round the side of your head, nor mar the corners of your beard."
    In this video I give the answer. The Israelites were directed by Our Creator not to cut their side locks or trim their beard because some of the pagan nations around them at the time practiced cutting their beards in a certain fashion, doing so in connection with the worship of their gods. (Jer. 9:26; 25:23)
    If an Israelite adopted the same style, observers might well take it to be a symbol of his religious beliefs, signifying that he upheld pagan worship. Obediently, God's people avoided this style of grooming or personal decoration. So it is appropriate to avoid decorations that would link a person with idolatrous worship.
    It was a cultic practice, which some pagan deities looked like a devil goat and Our Creator didn't want His people to resemble a devil goat deity.
    It was also common for the pagans to cut or shave the sides of their heads. Same point as with the beard would apply.

      My brother, this is a good thing which God would like his people to follow, whether or not doing it is a matter of salvation. The non-shaver wants to please God. And if his conscious convicts him for shaving, then shaving is sin to him. In the spirit of the apostles, I do believe that we should not shave ourselves if we go into a camp of non-shavers. So as not to offend our brothers, but if we do it, then we do sin and not just by the law of conscience but by the perfect law of God. So please, let us all live in unity; and our brothers that want to eat kosher, follow sabbaths and feasts, wear tsit-tsit and long beards; let them do what our heavenly father designed for His followers to do to represent Christ's kingdom. YHVH bless you all

      Some brothers may have ministries that they should care for none of these but for prayer and teaching the Word. But there are varieties of administrations, and all the same Spirit works all in all. When we speak in tongues, if noone interprets, then aren't we speaking what God wants to hear? The Spirit may lead men to follow Yeshua our savior and also seek to do wonderful, unnecessary to us, things of Scripture. These are our brothers and they are led by the same Spirit to glorify God. Do not forbid them. Yet, I understand you don't want them to be in bondage, and want them to feel Christ's grace. Which of them teaches it is necessary for salvation to avoid shaving? Let that man be corrected. But whoever teaches men to nullify the least of God's commandments, is least in the kingdom of heaven. Yet to reach others or live among others sometimes we have to shave, which is acceptable and preferable to not spreading gospel. Teach freedom from strict adherence to man's laws, and the importance of certain matters of torah over others. But don't throw out God's instructions. This is a very touchy subject that we must take with care brothers, so that we all can live in unity as Christ prayed for us. Shalom

      @JacobWilliams-oz2kj 7 лет назад

      I do agree with you, that is the heart that alone matters. But this Spirit of Christ does stir in many men's hearts to represent Him in many ways. They're trying to figure out, through Christ, how to live to please God in every way, and eventually you run out of instructions from the new testament. This video maker has a series of Christ's words called "Yeshua Says" and it is fantastic. The old covenant also led to Christ, but fewer were chosen to see it; and it benefits us all to understand what its truly saying and not the pharisaic interpretation. What better way to understand than to live it? I want us all to understand freedom and also to live to please God by His Spirit. But either way, let's love our brothers whole-heartedly as we are of all Christ. Lol one man says " I am of shavers", another " But I am of the torah too" and suddenly we've divided Christ. Let us not offend our brothers but edify, and love our family as ourselves.

    God gave me the ability to grow a beard therefore I grow one. Pretty close to what this bearded brother has. I am a Christian and feel compelled to grow one. I am incredibly active playing basketball, volleyball, fishing, hunting etc. and makes me stand out physically and most people, for whatever reason, cannot nor will not associate a "bearded guy" as being an athlete or active guy (weird actually). In any event, nothing more "manly" than growing a beard and pay homage to the great men in scripture. I pick King David and Moses. "Going to try to comply with the purposes of the almighty" Women can't grow em for a reason. Rock the beard and beard on brothers!!

      The Psalmist says "Happy is the man who meditates on the instructions (Torah) of God day and night".
      Paul says that we have liberty but shouldn't spend that liberty on the flesh. Isn't shaving the beard a fleshly matter? And eating pork and shellfish because we think it tastes good is fleshly as well.
      We have liberty in either case when there is a spiritual reason to do so (shaving for military/police/fire service where shaving allows masks to seal so you save lives).
      Eating unclean foods not for the sake of the flesh but for the sake of the spirit could be eating what someone has prepared when sharing the Gospel in a far off locale or with anyone who might be offended if you refuse the food theyre offering you.

Only the second week I was just a little itchy. Now at 3 months it's getting very thick and bushy, I don't trim anything off, the beard starts just below my 'Adams' apple' linked to the hairs on my chest and the top part stops 1 and a half inches below my eyes, that is what I call a 'full beard', the only place I trim (I have to do this once a week) is directly around my mouth, more for hygienic reasons so that no hair gets into my mouth and right next to my nose so that no hairs go up my nostrils.

    +The Health Watchman, I do believe that there are some contextual errors in this video. The verses that are being referenced here are strictly and explicitly stating not to shave the sides of your head, beard, forehead, or cut yourself for the dead. The Torah states this a few times I know of; twice in Leviticus (19:27-28, 21:1-6) and once in Deuteronomy (14:1). In all cases it says do not do this to remember the dead because that was a common ritual in that day among other religions. The heathen/pagan would do this to morn for their dead.Now, do I believe that there is anything wrong with growing out your beard? Absolutely not, just as long as you aren't doing it to bring attention to yourself or to show off. Do I believe that there is anything wrong with not growing your beard? Again, absolutely not. There is nothing saying that you have to grow out your beard or not shave it unless you take the Nazerite vow, which are commandments for Nazerite's only. There are times where we are required to shave our beards and that is when we have a skin infection that causes the hair to change color or die. As far as I know, that is the only commandment that says when we HAVE to shave. With all that said, we have to make sure that we read everything in context to get what Yah wants us to know or hear. We must read the before and after verses to understand the complete picture. Thoughts?

    DO NOT BE MISLED: Learning Torah is really crucial...but what about the Bible prophecy
    that fulfills Torah? The purpose of Torah is to find faith through the
    Messianic prophecies and the prophecies about Israel in the end times.
    Torah also fulfills the initial purpose of the Creator for Israel and
    mankind. That's what the Messiah and his apostles preached all day long.
    The teachings of the Messiah is....Prophecy, prophecy , prophecy and
    prophecy. He was a visionary. Torah is a "way of life" not only in the
    present but more importantly of the future but Biblical prophecy is our
    hope to be aligned with the kingdom living now and forever. However,
    there are a lot of Torah Observants out there that only focused on "
    Feasts, Traditions, and Shabbat" and Law. law , law and make it a
    legalistic lifestyle. That's not what Torah is all about ..guys. Torah
    means "instructions" of truth not just civil laws and rituals. Ancient
    Israel fell into that pit of religious practices that lost the favor of
    the Most High. Isaiah 1:13, 14 and See Hosea 2:11 There is a movement
    of Torah believers that took Torah way too legalistic that now they
    question Paul's letters and the rest of the NT. That's insanity to
    religion to the max. The Bible says that we live in the era of
    "Understanding and Prophecy" in order not to be deceived we must attain
    that kingdom prophetic understanding. (Matthew 13:9-12) What contaminates men is not goes in or their appearance but comes out of their heart....what defiles your heart is evil thoughts , legalism, being judgmental, and self righteousness . Is your heart circumcised ????? Jeremiah 31:31-34 Shalom

    It really gives me profound joy every time I find a teacher who seems close to Christ and His Word. But hearing you gives me special gladness because you teach Christ's word and Bible studies instead of focusing on debates like flat earth, giants, genealogies, etc. I hope I find more fellow believers like you and become one myself who relies on the Scriptures for his entire walk in this life. Everything contradictory in the world is evil. Thank you for teaching, please pray for my household (My wife, and 3 young children) to be given repentance. I pray and study seldomly but my heart is in slavery to sin still. I'm 21. I smoke and do some things that I know are wrong, but I haven't had the strength to overcome these. I work and try to do good but it seems that I've barely overcome anything. So please pray for His Spirit to take control in our lives, cleanse our hearts and lead us out of temptations. His Spirit is always with us, but we must repent if we are to be led by the Spirit right? I feel that if we take the next steps in repentance, His Spirit will want to dwell with us more. And I fear God's wrath, because I have faith but am I born of Spirit? I know when we cry out to YHWH about our slavery He hears, so please pray with us.

    Thanks for the interesting video. I am about 3 months with no trimming or shaving, almost 2 inches long. Really didn't want to shave neck and your advice that a longer beard covers that anyway is what I needed. I'll trim or shape it slightly after about 5 months but pretty much plan on letting it grow as He intended. I think balls can help keep it neat and softer.
    As far as itching, that only lasted about 2 weeks then got less and less. My brother says it itches at first because you have been shaving causing each hair to be like a little sharp spear that pokes you as it curls back a bit or your skin moves around.
    Wonder why some comments are so degradating towards God and scriptures... maybe because they are trying to convince themselves there is no creator and Redeemer.

    that directive was for the israelites at that time...the old testament was instructions for living at that time. Christs arrival and teachings brought forth the New Testament which we all are to follow now. so no need to worry about the beard issue...Men are to have short hair women are to have long hair. easy to follow...

    The prohibition of cutting the corners of the beard is not the hair. It is the face. The philistines would curt their face peel the skin outward and allow it to heal in that position. This was done to give them a more ferocious appearance for battle, and also to give the impression of gills, cuz their deity was dagon, the fish god. Most scriptures refer to anything that mars the skin permanently, such as tatoos as a no no. Shalom!

    Interesting fact: The verse in Leviticus 19:27 uses the word "shahat", which means "to destroy" and is first used in the Bible when God talks about destroying Sodom and Gomorrah. So there's no word "shave" in the original text. Instead of shaving Egyptians did a full epilation of the beard hairline, which gave men a feminine look. This commandment may talk about this particular kind of beard destruction. Facial hair is what God gave men, and in His eyes, it is good. Destruction of what God gave to people, especially of what differs men from women, is terrible in His eyes. People who fled from Egypt with Moses still carried some Egyptian customs, and this commandment was put to end one of them. There's a chance that rabbis of early history have forgotten this fact about Egyptians and started looking for other ways to interpret this commandment.

    Beard is cosmetic, what you need to protect is your heart from sin. Beard is not important after YESHUA pay for our sin, if i shave each day don't make me a sinner. That was for the Israelites in the time of idolatrous nations all over the Covenant people of the twelve tribe's. Also ELOHIM demand that Israelites be different in appearance from the idolatrous nations because Israelites wil be in battles and needed to be detected by long beard.

    We are forgetting the most important reason to let the beard untouched and the sides of our head (peiot) Before we get to Leviticus 19:27,
    we should take a read at
    Leviticus 19:2 that tells us to be kedushim for He is Kadosh
    We should not worry about appearances nor fashion. What son does not want to be like his Father? After all we were created to His image “kadosh”

    I agree totally that if your beard is not growing in all that well, let it grow. It will eventually. I started growing my beard (and trimming it) since about age 20. It wasn't until about age 26 that it finally grew into a full beautiful beard. I am curious if trimming the mustache is considered wrong. The mustache gets in my way and I keep it trimmed shorter so I don't consume so much hair lol. As well, when I first started keeping my beard, my mother kept saying it doesn't look good on me, my wife said the same. After awhile, they got used to it.
