²⁷And you shall not cut the hair of your head circularly, nor shave your beard.

¹⁴Does not even nature herself teach you that, indeed, if a man grows his hair long, it is a disgrace for him? ¹⁵Yet truly, if a woman grows her hair long, it is a glory for her, because her hair has been given to her as a covering.

¹⁷Then disclosing the truth of the matter, he said to her: “Iron has never been drawn across my head, for I am a Nazirite, that is, I have been consecrated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head will be shaven, my strength will depart from me, and I will be faint and will be like other men.”

²⁰Now they shall not shave their heads, and they shall not grow long hair. Instead, they shall trim the hair of their heads.

⁵During all the time of his separation, no razor shall pass over his head, even until the completion of the day when he is consecrated to the Lord. He shall be holy, letting the hair of his head grow long.

²⁶And when he shaved off his hair, for he shaved it off once a year, because his long hair was burdensome to him, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, by the public weights.

¹⁸Yet truly, Paul, after he had remained for many more days, having said goodbye to the brothers, sailed into Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. Now he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had made a vow.

⁶So if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off. Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head.

¹⁴Does not even nature herself teach you that, indeed, if a man grows his hair long, it is a disgrace for him?

⁵Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.

¹⁹But she made him sleep upon her knees, and recline his head upon her bosom. And she called a barber, and he shaved his seven locks of hair. And she began to push him away, and to repel him from herself. For immediately his strength departed from him.

¹³Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God unveiled? ¹⁴Does not even nature herself teach you that, indeed, if a man grows his hair long, it is a disgrace for him? ¹⁵Yet truly, if a woman grows her hair long, it is a glory for her, because her hair has been given to her as a covering.

¹¹And she made a vow, saying, “O Lord of hosts, if, in looking with favor, you will see the affliction of your servant and will remember me, and will not forget your handmaid, and if you will give to your servant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall pass over his head.”

²⁵Now in all of Israel, there was no man so handsome, and so very stately as Absalom. From the sole of the foot to the top of the head, there was no blemish in him. ²⁶And when he shaved off his hair, for he shaved it off once a year, because his long hair was burdensome to him, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, by the public weights.

⁵For you shall conceive and bear a son, whose head no razor shall touch. For he shall be a Nazirite of God, from his infancy and from his mother’s womb. And he shall begin to free Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
