Probably my mistake.
Its the book with all the Jewish laws in where they touch on homosexuality, transvestism and long hair.
Could have sworn it was Leviticus.

ot:
Ezekiel 44:20
" 'They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but they are to keep the hair of their heads trimmed.


nt:
1 Corinthians 11:14
Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

The first passage is about the Levites, the temple workers, not the population at large. The second it about people living in a city where men with long hair were prostitutes in temples to Greek Gods, such that Christian men would do best not to be identified with them.

Amazing what some contextual knowledge can do, huh?
