How long was Samson's hair at its longest before Delilah convinced the Philistines to cut it off?

[Exorcist_Rampage]

Tell me if you think Samson's hair was longer than Samson's height or not. If not, how long do you think it was. Answer in terms of where it came on him and not in terms of how long it was in inches. Why do you think Samson fell so in love with Delilah that he eventually hold her his hair strength secret? What caused Delilah to finally realize after the 3rd time that he finally shared the truth after 2 straight lies? Was it that he loved her so much that he let his guard down and thought he could have full confidence in her? What made the 3rd time the charm?

Why do you think Samson's strength was so predicated upon never having his hair cut throughout his life? Was the Nazarite vow so precious to God that He considered favor with those who honored it all their life long? Please share your hair strength glory concerning Samson! What power is there with hair? Please thoroughly provide the top reasons this may have spiritual merits!

Touching shoulders or above

Below shoulders to shoulder backbone

Below shoulder backbone to waist

Below waist to knees

Below knees to floor/ground

Touching the floor/ground (aka his hair was longer than his height)

I meant told her, not hold her.

That would largely depend upon how old he was when it was cut off. Judging by biblical account, I'd say he was about early to mid twenties. In that case, hia hair could have easily grown no his knees, if not the floor, when straightened out.

The way to figure this out would be to see how long a man's hair has grown and how long it can grow before it's impractical

Thanks for the MHO!!

[Gedaria]

There is no mention how long it was. But it must have been quite long. But his vow as a Nazarite included not to drink wine. But Samson was a special. But being suduced and have his hair cut was a death sentence for him...

Are Nazarites and Essenes the same thing?

[Savage_Wisdom]

They are not. The Essenes are/were a separate religious sect, along with the Pharisees and Sadducees, kinda like the difference between Babtists, Catholics, and Evangelicals in Christianity.

A Nazarite however is a type of person, usually chosen before birth (although some people have taken Nazarite vows later in life) in exchange for upholding a very strict code of what they can and cannot do, God in return gifts them with supernatural abilities to Aid them in defense of the Jews. Samson, obviously, got super strength, but there are hints in the Bible which indicate if this wasn't the only gift God could give to a Nazarite, it seems to indicate that some nazarites have even gained an increase in their ability to persuade people. In order to gain these gifts and that's why it has to live by a very strict code; don't cut your that grows on the top of your head do not drink any alcohol that comes from grapes, do not touch corpses or graves, even if they belong to family members.
