In Leviticus 21:5, the same prohibition against cuttings and shaving is applied specifically to priests.

In Deuteronomy 14:1, the command is repeated: no cutting yourselves or baldness for the dead.

In 1 Kings 18:28, Baal's prophets cut themselves in pagan worship — contrary to the law's ban on cutting flesh.

In Jeremiah 48:37, Moab's mourning includes baldness and cuttings — the very practices forbidden to Israel.

Jeremiah 47:5 asks how long they will gash themselves—a mourning ritual condemned in Leviticus 19:28.

Isaiah 15:2 describes Moab's mourning (shaved heads and beards) — these are the pagan practices Israel is forbidden to imitate in Leviticus.

In Jeremiah 16:6, God says the forbidden mourning cuts will not even happen — highlighting the law's prohibition.

In Mark 5:5, the demoniac cuts himself with stones — a violation of the ban on self-cutting, though not for the dead.

In Numbers 6:6, a Nazirite must avoid contact with the dead — similar to Leviticus forbidding cuts for the dead, both maintain holiness.

1 Thessalonians 4:13 urges believers not to grieve like the hopeless—mirroring the Bible's restriction on mourning practices in Leviticus 19:28.
