Re: Uncut Hair and the Nazirite Vow for Women
 

Did you pull out the spanish version what is that. Her hair is given her instead of a covering. For her hair is her glory. I'm not saying they didn't have coverings, but they also had long uncut hair. To cut it was to be shorn like a sheep which is the same as shaving it. He was letting them know. Have you ever watched a sheep be sheered? They have to forcefully do it. But the sheep doesn't want to be sheered, they take it by force. So Paul is using the term in a derogatory manner comparing it to creation, and comparing any cutting to the woman's glory as being sheered, and that is the same as to be shaven. Its disgraceful, you should guard your glory, is what he's saying.

I'll go with the covering but he no doubt was saying don't cut your hair also. But what does verse 15 say the covering is? "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering."
"For" is a bad rendering because it means anti which we know means "instead of, in place of (something)" the something in this case is the "peribolaion" meaning "a covering thrown around, a wrapper, a mantle, a veil"

It couldve been customary for them to wear a veil but thats not what's being discussed here. This is clearly about hair. Verse 15 gives the conclusion and the context, I mean it says its shameful. So to have cut hair is shameful when its her glory. What's the purpose of the creation reference otherwise Eve didn't have a covering bro, only until after the fall maybe. But we should conclude to cut a womans hair is to disregard her glory point blank period. End of story to advise someone otherwise is to just give your opinion. And if your ok with it, I am too but sounds like a dangerous thing to do if your wrong.

Re: Uncut Hair and the Nazirite Vow for Women
 

He was saying if the woman will not be covered, then let her ALSO ("in addition") have her hair cut off. This means that, according to the apostle, if a woman will not have her head covered, then she ought to ALSO cut off her hair. Which proves the hair itself is not the covering he is speaking of in the first part of the chapter.

"Her hair is given her for a covering" does not mean that "her hair is given her for a covering so that she doesn't have to wear a head covering." IF her hair is the covering Paul is commanding, then he is speaking nonsense: "If the woman cuts her hair off, then let her ALSO cut her hair off"????? Makes no sense.

Paul's point is not that the woman ought to have long hair (although he acknowledges that she ought to), but rather that she ought to be covered when praying or prophesying. And that is she refuses to cover her head, she might as well just cut her hair. If she wants to act like a man in the assembly, she might as well go all the way and wear her hair like a man, too. but of course, that would be shameful. Therefore, LET HER BE COVERED.

Re: Uncut Hair and the Nazirite Vow for Women
 

Nature teaches a woman to be covered. It does this by the fact that, according to nature, having long hair is a glory to her. It is given her as a covering. This is a natural covering. Not a head covering, but a peribolaion, a shawl or mantle, a "wrap around". And Paul uses this lesson from nature as a support to his argument for the head covering. He is saying "Look, you women have long hair, it's proper and beautiful, it's a natural mantle or shawl, so therefore you need to COVER THE HEAD WHEN PRAYING. Because, if you pray uncovered, it's AS IF you had been shorn like a sheep. You don't want to cover your head? Fine then, cut off your hair, too. Oh, that would be unseemly? Then cover your head."

Robertson's Word Pictures:

1 Corinthians 11:15

Have long hair (komāi). Present active subjunctive of komaō (from komē, hair), old verb, same contraction (̇aēîāi) as the indicative (aei ̂ āi), but subjunctive here with ean in third class condition. Long hair is a glory to a woman and a disgrace to a man (as we still feel). The long-haired man! There is a papyrus example of a priest accused of letting his hair grow long and of wearing woollen garments.
For a covering (anti peribolaiou). Old word from periballō to fling around, as a mantle (Heb_1:12) or a covering or veil as here. It is not in the place of a veil, but answering to (anti, in the sense of anti in Joh_1:16), as a permanent endowment (dedotai, perfect passive indicative).

JFB:

1 Corinthians 11:15

her hair ... for a covering — Not that she does not need additional covering. Nay, her long hair shows she ought to cover her head as much as possible. The will ought to accord with nature [Bengel].

Re: Uncut Hair and the Nazirite Vow for Women
 

Your totally disregarding verse 15 that translates it all though it says instead of in place of a peribolaion.

Re: Uncut Hair and the Nazirite Vow for Women
 

One question at Creation did Eve have a peribolaion? Because the text shot us back here not me.

Re: Uncut Hair and the Nazirite Vow for Women
 

Look I will agree to a woman should cover her hair. Bur do you at least believe a woman shouldn't cut her hair? Because the text is plain on that.
