"No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb,..." (Judges 13: 5).
A woman's long hair is a sign of her strength in beauty. For her hair accentuates her beauty. Now Samson's long hair was a sign of his Nazarite vow to God. He was never to cut his hair, for it was the outward sign of his Nazirite pledge. The supernatural physical strength was symbolic of the pledge and the power of that truth. These outward actions as a Nazirite indicated his inner dedication to God. He had power with God so long as the razor of disobedience did not touch his hair. (This article is under construction).
