Contradiction with Proverbs 20:29
This verse suggests that the strength is the glory of young men, but doesn't address rejuvenation after being lost, unlike the restoration of Samson's strength as his hair began to grow again.
Proverbs 20:29: The glory of young men [is] their strength: and the beauty of old men [is] the gray head.
Contradiction with Numbers 6:5
This verse outlines the Nazarite vow, which involves not cutting hair, whereas Samson regains strength after his hair began to grow again, suggesting a direct link between his hair and divine strength, not pledging.
Numbers 6:5: All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth [himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:7
Focuses on the Lord looking at the heart rather than outward appearance, potentially contradicting the focus on Samson's hair as the source of his strength.
1 Samuel 16:7: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. [outward...: Heb. eyes]
Contradiction with Ezekiel 44:20
This verse instructs priests to not let their hair grow long, contrasting with the significance placed on Samson's hair growing to regain his strength.
Ezekiel 44:20: Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
