1 Corinthians 11:6 - Exposition

Let her also be shorn. Not a command, but, a sort of scornful inference, or reductio ad absurdum . If it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven. When a woman was tried by "the ordeal of the water of jealousy," her head was uncovered by the priest ( Numbers 5:18 ). To be shorn or shaven was a sign of mourning ( Deuteronomy 21:12 ), and was a disgrace inflicted on adulteresses.
