22 Mas, logo o cabelo da sua cabeça começou a crescer de novo.

Juízes 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.

Juízes 16:22 In-Context

20 Então ela chamou: “Sansão, os filisteus o estão atacando!”Ele acordou do sono e pensou: “Sairei como antes e me livrarei”. Mas não sabia que o SENHOR o tinha deixado.
21 Os filisteus o prenderam, furaram os seus olhos e o levaram para Gaza. Prenderam-no com algemas de bronze, e o puseram a girar um moinho na prisão.
22 Mas, logo o cabelo da sua cabeça começou a crescer de novo.
23 Os líderes dos filisteus se reuniram para oferecer um grande sacrifício a seu deus Dagom e para festejar. Comemorando sua vitória, diziam: “O nosso deus entregou o nosso inimigo Sansão em nossas mãos”.
24 Quando o povo o viu, louvou o seu deus:“O nosso deus nos entregou o nosso inimigo,o devastador da nossa terra,aquele que multiplicavaos nossos mortos”.
