Strong's Lexicon taar: Razor, knife, sheath Original Word: תַּעַר Word Origin: From the root verb עָרַר (arar), meaning "to strip" or "to make bare." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for a razor or cutting tool is not directly listed in Strong's Concordance, but related concepts can be found in entries like μαχαίρα (machaira - G3162), meaning "sword" or "knife." Usage: The Hebrew word "taar" primarily refers to a razor or a sharp instrument used for shaving or cutting. It is often associated with the act of shaving hair, particularly in religious or ritual contexts. The term can also refer to a knife or a sheath, indicating its broader use as a cutting tool. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the use of a razor had significant religious and cultural implications. For instance, the Nazirite vow, as described in Numbers 6, involved abstaining from cutting one's hair, symbolizing dedication to God. Conversely, shaving with a razor could signify purification or a new beginning, as seen in various purification rites. The razor was also a practical tool in daily life for grooming and personal hygiene.
