The practice is mentioned in several contexts throughout the Scriptures, reflecting its significance in ancient Israelite society and neighboring cultures.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Practices:</b><br><br>1. <b>Nazirite Vow:</b> One of the most notable references to shaving in the Bible is related to the Nazirite vow. Nazirites were individuals who took a special vow of consecration to God, which included abstaining from wine, avoiding contact with the dead, and not cutting their hair. <a href="/numbers/6-5.htm">Numbers 6:5</a> states, "For the entire period of his vow of separation, no razor shall pass over his head. He must be holy until the time of his consecration to the LORD is complete; he must let the hair of his head grow long." At the end of the vow, the Nazirite was required to shave his head as part of the purification process (<a href="/numbers/6-18.htm">Numbers 6:18</a>).<br><br>2. <b>Levitical Laws:</b> The Levitical laws also address shaving in the context of ritual purity. <a href="/leviticus/14-8.htm">Leviticus 14:8-9</a> describes the cleansing process for a person healed of a skin disease, which includes shaving off all hair. This act symbolized a new beginning and purification.<br><br>3. <b>Mourning Practices:</b> Shaving was sometimes associated with mourning. In <a href="/isaiah/15-2.htm">Isaiah 15:2</a>, the prophet describes the people of Moab shaving their heads and beards as a sign of lamentation: "Dibon goes up to its temple, to its high places to weep; Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off."<br><br><b>Symbolism and Metaphor:</b><br><br>1. <b>Humiliation and Shame:</b> Shaving could symbolize humiliation or shame. In <a href="/2_samuel/10-4.htm">2 Samuel 10:4</a>, Hanun, the king of the Ammonites, humiliated David's servants by shaving off half of their beards and cutting their garments. This act was intended to disgrace them, as a full beard was a sign of dignity and honor in ancient Near Eastern cultures.<br><br>2. <b>Divine Judgment:</b> The prophets sometimes used shaving as a metaphor for divine judgment. In <a href="/isaiah/7-20.htm">Isaiah 7:20</a>, the prophet declares, "On that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates&#8212;the king of Assyria&#8212;to shave your head and the hair of your legs, and to remove your beard as well." This imagery conveyed the totality of God's impending judgment on the people.<br><br><b>Practical Considerations:</b><br><br>1. <b>Personal Grooming:</b> While the Bible does not provide extensive details on personal grooming practices, it is evident that shaving was a part of daily life for some individuals. The act of shaving could be associated with cleanliness and personal care.<br><br>2. <b>Cultural Differences:</b> The significance of shaving varied among different cultures and peoples mentioned in the Bible. For instance, Egyptians were known for their clean-shaven appearance, while Israelites and other Semitic peoples typically wore beards.<br><br>In summary, shaving in the biblical context is multifaceted, encompassing religious rituals, cultural practices, and symbolic meanings. It reflects the broader themes of consecration, purity, mourning, and judgment found throughout the Scriptures.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
