and of my beard
Beard; the hair that grows on the chin and cheeks of a man, typically appearing with age and often associated with maturity, dignity, and social status in ancient Israelite culture. The term designates the beard itself rather than age per se, but is related to the visible sign of maturity, authority, or respect within the community. In some contexts, references to 'beard' can include implications regarding social roles, ritual practices, or mourning customs.
