[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3874409, member: 63706"] Out of context and not a precise translation. The entire passage is a list of practices heathens would engage in as part of their belief system, which God was commanding the Iraelites not to do. This included many things like not wearing certain hairstyles or blended fiber clothing, or the trimming of beards (eh? Religious exemption anyone?). The issue of "tattooing" was in reference to a pagan ritual of cutting and marking one's self to offer a blood sacrifice for the dead to give them life force and to appease their deities. The God of Israel forbade His people from having any gods before Him, and marking yourself in this fashion was a sign that you participated in the practices of the heathens. This has very little to do with people who wish to adorn their bodies with images of Kermit the Frog. Only certain sects of Judaism even believe in the idea of an after life, let alone hell. The term sheol is used most often to support the concept of an afterlife, and hell in particular. But the literal translation of sheol is simply "the grave". So God was not codemning people to hell for having tattoos. The concept of hell wasn't even a thing when this scripture was written. [/QUOTE]
