Note also that in Isa. Perhaps they pulled his hair out too, but Scripture does not say. It does seem to suggest to us that perhaps his hair was not of sufficient length for them to have been able to have done so. The only case in the Bible where a man is spoken of as having long hair who was not a Nazarite was Absalom. This young man came to an inglorious, shameful, untimely end, and was hung by the thing he was proudest of.
Long hair does speak.
Even today it frequently used to signify drugs, rock music, and civil disobedience, whereas short hair speaks of authority and discipline. Our Saviour was not a proud rebel, nor was he effeminate, nor was he even a Nazarite. It is interesting to note how this was interpreted and carried out. The Talmud required Jewish priests to cut their hair every 30 days. Many Christians today are looking for loopholes in the Scripture.
