This passage actually does imply a Canaanite mourning custom of scarring oneself as a sign of grief, which is rejected in the verse. This is NOT a tattoo.<br />Now "כתבת קעקע" literally means "tattooed inscription". So yes, this one DOES specifically mention tattooing.<br />And as a completely secular, non-observant Jewish agnostic I would say the prohibitions of those customs are actually spot on, as far as I am concerned. Especially the second one which mostly serves as a medium for pretentious, vane and most of all incredibly stupid attempts at "self-expression" for those who do not understand what self-expression really means.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51454407843998158.post-79775880435365639652015-04-20T03:58:13.702+03:002015-04-20T03:58:13.702+03:00.....what body part is this even on...?.....what body part is this even on...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51454407843998158.post-1000807354829069852010-07-20T14:05:28.631+03:002010-07-20T14:05:28.631+03:00actually, the original hebrew version mentions not...actually, the original hebrew version mentions nothing about the dead specifically.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51454407843998158.post-27615408743533246062010-04-28T22:39:27.821+03:002010-04-28T22:39:27.821+03:00This verse had been interpreted every which way.
...This verse had been interpreted every which way.<br /><br />"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am Jehovah."<br /><br />- Some say that it means you're not supposed to tattoo for the dead.<br /><br />- Others say the two parts of the verse are separate. You shouldn't cut for the dead and tattoo at all.<br /><br />- Then there's the approach that suggests you're only forbidden from tattooing God's name, because of the "I am Jehovah".Typo Tathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411550136939975038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51454407843998158.post-39679073131612208982010-04-28T20:03:38.997+03:002010-04-28T20:03:38.997+03:00"e shall not make any cuttings in your flesh ..."e shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you"<br /><br />Has been misinterpreted for...probably centuries.
