Re: Body Language....Womens hair
NATURE
My NET bible commentary has this to say
Paul does not mean nature in the sense of "the natural world" or "Mother Nature." It denotes "the way things are" because of God's design.
What is God's design then for women?
One thing is notable...men under the law did not grow their hair long unless they were under a vow...with Absolom being an exception.
And apparently women let their hair grow long too....why? Is that a command under the law or is that just how women have been customarily for thousands of years?
Women in the bible are particularly mentioned in the NT with regards to braiding and ornaments....their hair was long enough to braid and this was common not only with the ROmans but the Jews as well (long hair)
