But when it actually mentions hair in the mid voice it says "cut off one's hair." The plain meaning cannot be denied or ignored.

And of course there's really no need to repeat for the 21st time that a mountain of translations reject UBS's "probably" meaning of "trim," while not even a small knoll of them follow it, just 2. (The NLT is as best a hybrid and so does't go on the knoll.)

*Yet you're free to deny the "plain meaning" of UBS, Bauer, BDAG, Louw-Nida, NIDNTTE, LXX Dict., A New Greek and English Lexicon, Principally on the Plan of Schneider, Wharton's Etymological Lexicon of Classical Greek, and both Classical and Koine' linguists? Got it .

*Now NLT's rendering is a "hybrid?" Says who? Costeon and the "conservative" constituency of AFF? Gotcha'!

*At least we agree on one thing: There's no need to point out that one of the premier Koine' linguist societies on the planet (UBS) defines your earth-shattering "cut off" as simply, "to cut or trim her hair" .

*Of course, at this point it is crystal-clear that any linguistic source we present will be dismissed in favor of your quoted resources that support NT Christian women being confident that they can "rock in short hair."

*Welcome to AFF.

I've already shown so thoroughly that you misunderstand them and so misuse them.

After you got so bent out of shape, as usual, by just a joke about 2.5 translations, I figured I would not say 2.5 anymore. But of course NLT in no wise supports your view.

What do you not understand about no translations, besides a couple most people would have to look up to even know what they were, supporting UBS's "probably"? Why do you keep twisting what UBS says. They say "probably" not certainly like you pretend. They're not even confident enough to take a firm stand. They're wishy washy with the Word.

You're so desperate. Another mischaracterization.

I can only see this as a sensible view. You can't send people to hell on a "probably".

*Umm, you have "shown" nothing "thoroughly" - other than you mesh diametrically opposing contexts from lexical and biblical resources - and then demand the "same meaning regardless of the circumstances" .

*LOL - Nice try from the man who posts in all caps w. exclamation points following, posts ridiculing YouTube clips toward me - and then blames me for your behavior (remember that bit about removing the beam from your own eye?) - gotcha' .

*Have demonstrated over and over that the NLT specifically says "it is a shame for a woman to cut her hair" in 11.6c, while they add to the text in 11.6b (even posted the Greek text). You are obviously free to believe what you wish - regardless of the actual evidence itself .

*Yea, their direct quote below seems so "wishy-washy" and unsure:

She should cut off her hair: this seems to imply that the woman herself cuts her hair. In verse 5 the implication is that someone else did the cutting...To be shorn, literally "cut-her-hair" in Greek, probably referred to a regular trimming of her hair.

*Perhaps we should hire someone to translate this for us since it's just sooo "ambiguous" that I "twist" and "pretend" that their "literal" definition does not mean what they say it does. They should have surely consulted Costeon first !

*Have already posted academic links on the excellency of the translations I have marshaled. Have more if you need them.

Re: Uncut Hair and the Nazirite Vow for Women

The intention of the passage is definitely for a woman to let her hair grow. The best way to let your hair grow is not to cut it.

Teaching that you have "long" hair if you have it past your shoulders, or maybe mid way down your back, or if you only trim 1/4 and inch off twice a year, does not make good common sense.

What about women who can't grow long hair by any measurable length, how can they determine if they are meeting the requirement?

Seems like the people want to disprove the scripture, while pretending to obey it, which will likely result in total disregard of it.
