Ezekiel 5:1-4

The Symbolic Act of Shaving and Dividing Hair

Ezekiel 5:1-4
1
“As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword, use it as a barber’s razor, and shave your head and beard. Then take a set of scales and divide the hair.
2
When the days of the siege have ended, you are to burn up a third of the hair inside the city; you are also to take a third and slash it with the sword all around the city; and you are to scatter a third to the wind. For I will unleash a sword behind them.
3
But you are to take a few strands of hair and secure them in the folds of your garment.
4
Again, take a few of these, throw them into the fire, and burn them. From there a fire will spread to the whole house of Israel.
