Le Scaramouche,

You may be correct on that interpretation of those Biblical verses.
I'm not a Biblical scholar.

My intention was to share with folks here what some is a relatively common interpretation among African Americans of those {one or both} or other Biblical verses. As I mentioned in my first post in this thread on this subject, Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" includes a reference to Jesus having hair like lamb's wool'. And this quote used to describe the texture of Jesus' hair is probably used in other literary works.

But as I also said in my earlier posts, I believe that the strongest proof of how Jesus looked and what kind of hair he had was the physical descriptors of folks who lived in that area during the time that he walked among them in his physical form.
