Theological / Devotional

At the door. The shaving was done beside the slain peace offering (cf. Lev. 3:2), and the hair cast into the fire of the sacrifice on the altar that stood before the door of the tabernacle (Ex. 40:6). The hair had been dedicated to Jehovah; therefore it was destroyed, to eliminate any danger of defilement.
