Judges 14:6

Context
14:6 The Lord’s spirit empowered 1  him and he tore the lion 2  in two with his bare hands 3  as easily as one would tear a young goat. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

Judges 16:9

Context
16:9 They hid 4  in the bedroom and then she said to him, “The Philistines are here, 5  Samson!” He snapped the bowstrings as easily as a thread of yarn snaps when it is put close to fire. 6  The secret of his strength was not discovered. 7 

1 tn Heb “rushed on.”

2 tn Heb “him” or “it”; the referent (the lion) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Heb “and there was nothing in his hand.”

4 tn Heb “And the ones lying in wait were sitting for her.” The grammatically singular form וְהָאֹרֵב (vÿhaorev) is collective here, referring to the rulers as a group (so also in v. 16).

5 tn Heb “are upon you.”

6 tn Heb “when it smells fire.”

7 tn Heb “His strength was not known.”
