God will hire a barber/razor
January 14, 2019 at 3:26 am
Can someone elaborate the story in Isaiah 7:20 about Yahweh borrowing razor to shave pubic hair? Tq
In that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River--the king of Assyria--to shave your heads and private parts, and to cut off your beards also.
Wherein both will be those (maidens) restraining their glances upon their husbands, whom no man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened their hymens with sexual intercourse) before them (Quran 55:56, Mushin)

It's a metaphor for God using Assyrian military power to punish Judea for transgressions. The removal of body hair is generally understood to mean that the Assyrians will strip Judea of all wealth and carry off the most important people.

The fucker wants all the guys to cut off the end of their dick.
Compared to that, shaving your nuts is no big deal...
No, it's clearly a metaphor - any biblical passage that looks utterly stupid is conveniently explained away as a metaphor.
