| 9 | Then the Philistines came up and encamped in Judah, and made a raid on Lehi. | SAMSON defeats the Philistines. Jdg.15.9-20 | וַיַּעֲלוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּחֲנוּ בִּיהוּדָה וַיִּנָּטְשׁוּ בַּלֶּחִי׃ |
| 10 | And the men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he did to us." | וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ יְהוּדָה לָמָה עֲלִיתֶם עָלֵינוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֶאֱסֹור אֶת־שִׁמְשֹׁון עָלִינוּ לַעֲשֹׂות לֹו כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לָנוּ׃ | |
| 11 | Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them." | וַיֵּרְדוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ מִיהוּדָה אֶל־סְעִיף סֶלַע עֵיטָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ לְשִׁמְשֹׁון הֲלֹא יָדַעְתָּ כִּי־מֹשְׁלִים בָּנוּ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמַה־זֹּאת עָשִׂיתָ לָּנוּ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ לִי כֵּן עָשִׂיתִי לָהֶם׃ | |
| 12 | And they said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall upon me yourselves." | וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹו לֶאֱסָרְךָ יָרַדְנוּ לְתִתְּךָ בְּיַד־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שִׁמְשֹׁון הִשָּׁבְעוּ לִי פֶּן־תִּפְגְּעוּן בִּי אַתֶּם׃ | |
| 13 | They said to him, "No; we will only bind you and give you into their hands; we will not kill you." So they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock. | וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹו לֵאמֹר לֹא כִּי־אָסֹר נֶאֱסָרְךָ וּנְתַנּוּךָ בְיָדָם וְהָמֵת לֹא נְמִיתֶךָ וַיַּאַסְרֻהוּ בִּשְׁנַיִם עֲבֹתִים חֲדָשִׁים וַיַּעֲלוּהוּ מִן־הַסָּלַע׃ | |
| 14 | When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him; and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily upon him, and the ropes which were on his arms became as flax that has caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands. | הוּא־בָא עַד־לֶחִי וּפְלִשְׁתִּים הֵרִיעוּ לִקְרָאתֹו וַתִּצְלַח עָלָיו רוּחַ יְהוָה וַתִּהְיֶינָה הָעֲבֹתִים אֲשֶׁר עַל־זְרֹועֹותָיו כַּפִּשְׁתִּים אֲשֶׁר בָּעֲרוּ בָאֵשׁ וַיִּמַּסּוּ אֱסוּרָיו מֵעַל יָדָיו׃ | |
| 15 | And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put out his hand and seized it, and with it he slew a thousand men. | וַיִּמְצָא לְחִי־חֲמֹור טְרִיָּה וַיִּשְׁלַח יָדֹו וַיִּקָּחֶהָ וַיַּךְ־בָּהּ אֶלֶף אִישׁ׃ | |
| 16 | And Samson said, "With the jawbone of an ass, | וַיֹּאמֶר שִׁמְשֹׁון בִּלְחִי הַחֲמֹור חֲמֹור חֲמֹרָתָיִם בִּלְחִי הַחֲמֹור הִכֵּיתִי אֶלֶף אִישׁ׃ | |
| 17 | When he had finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi. | וַיְהִי כְּכַלֹּתֹו לְדַבֵּר וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ הַלְּחִי מִיָּדֹו וַיִּקְרָא לַמָּקֹום הַהוּא רָמַת לֶחִי׃ | |
| 18 | And he was very thirsty, and he called on Yahweh and said, "You have granted this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and shall I now die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?" | וַיִּצְמָא מְאֹד וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר אַתָּה נָתַתָּ בְיַד־עַבְדְּךָ אֶת־הַתְּשׁוּעָה הַגְּדֹלָה הַזֹּאת וְעַתָּה אָמוּת בַּצָּמָא וְנָפַלְתִּי בְּיַד הָעֲרֵלִים׃ | |
| 19 | And God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi, and there came water from it; and when he drank, his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore the name of it was called En-hakkore; it is at Lehi to this day. | וַיִּבְקַע אֱלֹהִים אֶת־הַמַּכְתֵּשׁ אֲשֶׁר־בַּלֶּחִי וַיֵּצְאוּ מִמֶּנּוּ מַיִם וַיֵּשְׁתְּ וַתָּשָׁב רוּחֹו וַיֶּחִי עַל־כֵּן קָרָא שְׁמָהּ עֵין הַקֹּורֵא אֲשֶׁר בַּלֶּחִי עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה׃ | |
| 20 | And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. | וַיִּשְׁפֹּט אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּימֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה׃ ף | |
