Subject: Men having long hair a disgrace? |
Bible Note: Hello, Culturally, the time period was one where men kept the hair cropped shorter. This is noticed from art and decorative pieces of the time. The Nazirite vow was for a specific period at the end if which the hair was cut. The three you mention are utterly unique as lifelong Nazirites. Jesus could not have been a Nazirite for more than one reason: 1) Is 53:2 says "he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him." A Nazirite sticks out like a sore thumb. 2) Nazirites could not consume anything made with grapes. a) Jesus would have been conspicuous at the wedding of Cana had he not had any of the wine. b) In Mark 14:25 he says that he will not drink the wine again until later, inferring he had done so previously. 3) Num 6:6 says the Nazirite shall not go near a dead body. Jesus touched dead bodies. Steve |
