In the biblical context, it is often associated with purification rituals or acts of humiliation and judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, shaving with a razor was sometimes part of purification rites, such as those for the Nazirite vow, where the hair was shaved at the end of the vow period (Numbers 6:18). Razors were also used symbolically in prophetic acts, as seen in the actions of the prophets to convey messages of judgment or purification. The use of a razor could signify a new beginning or a cleansing from impurity. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin the same as marat, q.v.
