Strong's Lexicon ta'ar: Razor, knife, sheath Original Word: תָּאַר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to cut or shave Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "ta'ar," the concept of shaving or cutting hair can be related to Greek words like ξυράω (xurao, Strong's G3587), which means to shave. Usage: The Hebrew word "ta'ar" primarily refers to a razor or a sharp instrument used for cutting or shaving. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
