Judges 16:7-9
7Samson said to her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh ▼▼ Or “moist.”
bowstrings ▼ that have not been dried, I will become weak and be just like any other man.” 8So the rulers of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings which had not been dried and they tied him up with them. 9They hid ▼ in the bedroom and then she said to him, “The Philistines are here, ▼▼Heb “are upon you.”
Samson!” He snapped the bowstrings as easily as a thread of yarn snaps when it is put close to fire. ▼▼Heb “when it smells fire.”
The secret of his strength was not discovered. ▼▼Heb “His strength was not known.”
