Are these the ten commandments and a lot more?

5) They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

How strange. And this one:
27) Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

What would be the corners of the head? ( the chin, maybe? )

14) Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD. That this needed to be forbidden might mean that people used to do that?
