   nation; his hair, the people; the razor, the Chaldeans; the
   cutting of the hair, the calamities and disgrace coming upon
   them; the balances, the exact distribution of the Divine
   judgments; the third part of the hair burnt, those destroyed
   in the city; the third part smitten with a knife, those slain
   in attempting to escape; the third part scattered to the
   winds, those who escaped to other countries; the few hairs in

   their destruction in Egypt.
