This is learned by generalizing the examples in the verse ("head", "beard", "eyebrows") Thru the word "ALL" we learn that even non-dense or non-visible hair (like armpit hair or outer-arm-hair) should be shaved. Thus the two items--GENERAL-PARTICULAR-GENERAL and ALL teach us that ALL is shaved except NOSE-HAIR *4 Neither foreigners nor Jewish Apostates can bring offerings *5 Thus eg God smote the Firstborn of Egyptians and also the firstborn of other nations who were visiting Egypt #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
