Razor:
Besides other usages, the practice of shaving the head after the completion of a vow must have created among the Jews a necessity for the special trade of a barber (Leviticus 14:8; Numbers 6:9; 6:18; 8:7; Judges 13:5; Isaiah 7:20; Ezekiel 5:1; Acts 18:18). The instruments of his work were probably, as in modern times, the razor, the basin, the mirror, and perhaps also the scissors. See 2 Samuel 14:26. Like the Levites, the Egyptian priests were accustomed to shave their whole bodies.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
