It's meaning is "to let the hair grow" and the reason the greek scholar I quoted said what he did is obvious to me...how can you let the hair grow long if you are cutting it?

However that does not in my opinion turn into an absolute nor negate cosmetic trimming. The point seems to me is that she is to allow her hair to grow out pretty much as long as she can get it...allow it to grow to full length. I don't believe that is an absolute command though where heaven and hell hinge on. This is about headship and distinction in the sexes. Not about having power or about salvation.


But that is what the word means "to let the hair grow"

So how long is "long"? "to let the hair grow"
Wish people would understand that more. I gotta Strongs now I am a Greek scholar yes sireee!
