It can also denote a sheath or a case for a blade. In the biblical context, it is often associated with practices of shaving or cutting hair, which held significant cultural and religious implications.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the use of a razor was often linked to religious vows and rituals. For instance, the Nazirite vow, as described in Numbers 6, involved abstaining from cutting one's hair. The act of shaving could symbolize purification, consecration, or mourning. Razors were also used in everyday grooming practices, but their mention in the Bible often highlights a deeper spiritual or symbolic act.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">תָּאַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> apparently <font size="+1"><b>incline</b></font> (perhaps akin to <font class="hebrew2">תּוּר</font> Thes; > Buhl denominative from <font class="hebrew2">תֹּאַר</font>, q. v. ); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ת</font>, subject <em>boundary:</em> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/18-14.htm">Joshua 18:14</a>, with <font class="hebrew2">ה</font> locative <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-9.htm">Joshua 15:9</a> b. 11; with <font class="hebrew2">מִן ֗֗֗ עַל</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-9.htm">Joshua 15:9</a> a; with <font class="hebrew2">מִן</font> only, <a href="/interlinear/joshua/18-17.htm">Joshua 18:17</a>; probably also with accusative of location <a href="/interlinear/joshua/19-13.htm">Joshua 19:13</a> (read <font class="hebrew2">רִמּ֫וֺנָה וְתָאַר הַנֵּעָה</font> <em>to Rimmon, and it inclined to Ne`;a</em> Di Steuern Benn and others).
