Judges 16:22
However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.
BSB
ASV
Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
KJV
Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again--It is probable that he had now reflected on his folly; and becoming a sincere penitent, renewed his Nazarite vow. "His hair grew together with his repentance, and his strength with his hairs" [BISHOP HALL].
The hair - This circumstance, though in itself inconsiderable, is noted as a sign of the recovery of God's favour, and his former strength, in some degree, upon his repentance, and renewing his vow with God, which was allowed for Nazarites to do.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
