God did that several times in the OT. The hired razor represents the nations that the Lord used to come against disobedient Israel/Judah. Shave in that context means to strip away, uncover, or make waste of. I better look it up in the concordance. :) SHAVE - "galach" a prim. root; prop. to be bald, i.e. (caus) to shave; fig. to lay waste: -- poll, shave (off). RAZOR/RASOR - "taar" from 6168; a knife or razor (as making bare); also a scabbard (as being bare, i.e. empty):-- [pen] knife, rasor, scabbard, shave, sheath. 6168 "arah, a prim. root; to be (caus. make) bare; hence to empty, pour out, demolish: leave destitute, discover, empty, make naked, pour (out), rase, spread self, uncover. Isaiah 7:20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor, hired from regions beyond the Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard. I believe that verse is saying that "in that day" (when the Lord will bring the king of Assyria upon the people of Judah) God will use the Assyrians (hired razor) as the means to 'uncover their sins and lay waste' (shave) the house of Judah. A reference to what God means by "hired" is in Isaiah 10:5-15 where the Lord makes it clear that He will use Assryia as the "rod of His anger" against "the people of My wrath" (Jerusalem and her idols, v. 11). |

Thank you There and MstrdSeed! I looked at this passage and spent about 10 minutes studying it in the NASB.. MstrdSeed, thank you for the reference in the Amplified. As always, it helps in deciphering some of these 'hard to follow' passages.. There, I appreciate the depth that you went to with a Concordance and your commentary! That was very helpful. Blessings, Nolan |
