Right? Like all of the things God prohibited with commandments etc were actually REALLY GOOD PROHIBITIONS bc of what harm can be done by breaking them. Adultery, stealing, etc. However I think the levites took it too far with the sideburns thing but even the verses seemingly against tattooing make sense when you understand tribal nature of back then and trying to not follow in those footsteps
Yes thank you for summing it up better than I could.
Having read a great deal of the Jewish holy literature, they LOVE their legalism. The Talmud, the Mishneh Torah, etc...all just giant lawbooks trying to cover every possible scenario
