XXI, 1, does not refer to 'and they shall not shave the corner of their beards' in v. 5, the connection being broken.');"><sup>20</sup></span> If so,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That the gezerah shawah merely defines 'shaving' and 'marring', but does not shew to whom they apply.');"><sup>21</sup></span>
