..... Ezekiel 44:20 says "neither shall they shave their heads, nor sufer their locks to grom long." Jewish people in that day and time were to cut their hair every 30 days, so it would not grow to long.
Is not this scripture directed at the Levite priests the sons of Zadok?, if we read from verse 15 to 20....
Eze 44:15
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
Eze 44:16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
Eze 44:17 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Eze 44:18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
Eze 44:19 And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
Eze 44:20
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
Now the next assumption people make, is that well Jesus was from Nazareth, so he made the nazarite vow and couldn't cut his hair. For those of you that don't know what the Nazarite vow is, Numbers 6:2-3,6 will describe it. Basically though you can't cut your hair, can't touch dead things, and you can't drink wine or eat the grapes.
Well now how long was this vow?, or separation as it is also termed, was it a prescribed time frame or was the period of separation up to the person taking the vow?...does not really matter as the important point is that it was for a limited period of time, so...if you think about it, Jesus could very well have taken the vow at some point BEFORE His ministry started.
Now it is proof that Jesus did not take the Nazarite vow, as he drank wine Matt. 11:19 and he touched the hand of the dead girl Matt. 9:25
No it is not proof....because He drank wine (also, at the end of the vow they were allowed to drink wine: Num 6:20 ) and touched the hand of the dead girl AFTER He got baptized by John the Baptist as that is when His Ministry started.
....Jesus did not make the Nazarite vow, we know that he was aloud to cut his hair.
toward the end of the vow, they had to shave their hair:
In 1 Cor 11:14 it says "Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair it is a shame unto him."
but read further and see what verse 16 says:
1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
1Co 11:16
But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
