Specifically what I'm after is did your average Jewish man (from Jerusalem in this case) wear a beard, go clean shaven or something in between? Were there different rules/practices for a high priest or ex-priest? I've done some googling but found conflicting answers - I understand Leviticus has a passage forbidding trimming beards but very early depictions of Jesus show him clean shaven? (Not specifically interested in Jesus here). Can anyone help me clear this up? Many thanks.
