wolfbiblemoonGod gives hair dressing tips (cut with a sword, ouch!) with specific instructions for how to dispose of the cut strands. It sounds like a magical ritual to me.
It goes without saying that this is another book filled with grisly predictions about the fates that will befall the sinful people of Israel.
It is an abomination to God that a group of women were observing a ritual that involves mourning the end of summer as less crops will grow and some men are worshipping the sun. I've always thought that worship, or at least dedicated observation, of the seasons and the movement of the sun is a pretty logical religion for a farming community, it certainly isn't abominable.
