All the days of the vow of the separation there shall no razor come upon his head until
the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord, he shall be holy, and
shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow
Numbers 6:5 ... the consecration of his God is upon his head. All the days of his separation he is holy unto the Lord. Numbers 6:7 I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 1 Samuel 1:11 And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven. Ezekiel 8:3 For, lo thou shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hands of the Philistines. Judges 13:5 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web. Judges 16:13 And she made him to sleep upon her knee; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. Judges 16:19 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drop of the night. Songs of Solomon 5:2 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. Songs of Solomon 5:11 His head is as the fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. Songs of Solomon 6:11 It is a precious ointment upon the head, that ran down the beard, even Aarons beard; that ran down to the skirt of his garments. Psalm 133:2 And Solomon said, if he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the earth. 1 Kings 1:52
