It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of shaving, often in the context of religious or cultural practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, shaving was often associated with religious vows and purification rituals. The Nazirite vow, as described in the Old Testament, included a prohibition against cutting one's hair until the vow was completed, at which point the hair would be shaved off as part of the ritual (Numbers 6:5, 18). In the Greco-Roman world, shaving was also a common practice for personal grooming and hygiene.
