Lam. 4:7‑8• 7Her Nazarites were purer than snow, whiter than milk; they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their figure was as sapphire.

1 Cor. 11:10‑15• 10Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.
 11However, neither is woman without man, nor man without woman, in the Lord.
 12For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman, but all things of God.
 13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?
 14Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?
 15But woman, if she have long hair, it is glory to her; for the long hair is given to her in lieu of a veil. (1 Cor. 11:10‑15)
• the Nazarite let his hair grow: it was neglecting self in yielding oneself to the will of God, renouncing one’s dignity and rights as a man; for a head of long hair marked, on the one hand, in a man, the neglect of his person; and on the other, subjection- power on the head. (“Numbers 6” by J.N. Darby)
