VERSE: Lv14-09a
Lv14-09 uses 2 techniques
(a) It uses the GENERAL-PARTICULAR-GENERAL form and also uses
(b) the special word ALL
The verse uses the GENERAL-PARTICULAR-GENERAL form
GENERAL: He will shave ALL his hair
PARTICULAR: (He will shave his) head beard and eyebrows
GENERAL: He will shave ALL his hair
From the GENERAL-PARTICULAR-GENERAL form we infer that you shave
all hair on the body that is VISIBLE and DENSE but not eg hair
on the hands (which is not dense) or hair under the armpits (which
is not visible).
From the word ALL (shave ALL his hair) we further include
in the shaving requirement hair that is visible but not dense(like
hair on the hands) or hair that is dense but not visible (like hair
under the armpits).
So the bottom line is that all hair is shaved except for hair in
the nose which is NEITHER visible nor dense.
