I did some research on the phrase " disfigure their faces " , and I picked out a very interesting point. Another translate showed that it was a lack of grooming or keeping up appearance. So the bible does not encourage us to be extremely ascetic. We don 't need to practice extreme self denial to appear to be holy, that was something the Pharisees did. the bible says Jehovah is the happy God, and that there is an appointed time for everything. Very interesting point!
