The word to shave the head and the beard with a sharp sword, and weigh and divide the hair
날카로운 칼로 머리털과 수염을 깎아 저울에 달아 나누라는 말씀
Ezekiel 5:1–4: the text says, “You, son of man, take a sharp sword. You shall take it as a barber’s razor to yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard. Then take balances to weigh and divide the hair. A third part you shall burn in the fire in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled. You shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it. A third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them. You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe. Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will come out into all the house of Israel.” These four verses carry no formula of the LORD’s speaking and do not name the city, neither edition closes the words at the end of 5:4, and the text does not say that it was done. The Korean Revised Version says at 5:2 first when the days of the siege are fulfilled (그 성읍을 에워싸는 날이 차거든), where WEB says it after the burning in the middle of the city.
