Jueces 16:22 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 16:22

Howbeit, the hair of his head began to grow again after he was
shaven.
] It began to grow immediately no doubt, as it naturally would do; but it is highly probable it grew in an extraordinary manner, and in a short time became as when it was shaved ^F14, as it may be rendered, and upon which his strength was renewed; not that his strength naturally lay in his hair, and so naturally increased as that grew; but he being made sensible of his sin, and repenting of it, renewed his Nazariteship, of which letting his hair grow was a token; and it pleased God, who accepted of his repentance as genuine, of his own good will and pleasure to renew his strength; particularly upon his prayer to him, after related.

Jueces 16:22 In-Context

20 Luego ella gritó: «¡Sansón, los filisteos se lanzan sobre ti!»Sansón despertó de su sueño y pensó: «Me escaparé como las otras veces, y me los quitaré de encima». Pero no sabía que el SEÑOR lo había abandonado.

21 Entonces los filisteos lo capturaron, le arrancaron los ojos y lo llevaron a Gaza. Lo sujetaron con cadenas de bronce, y lo pusieron a moler en la cárcel.

22 Pero en cuanto le cortaron el cabello, le comenzó a crecer de nuevo.

23 Los jefes de los filisteos se reunieron para festejar y ofrecerle un gran sacrificio a Dagón, su dios, diciendo:«Nuestro dios ha entregado en nuestras manosa Sansón, nuestro enemigo».

24 Cuando el pueblo lo vio, todos alabaron a su dios diciendo:«Nuestro dios ha entregado en nuestras manosa nuestro enemigo,al que asolaba nuestra tierray multiplicaba nuestras víctimas».
