Bible Question: In Judges chapter 14:14 Samson gave a riddle. I read the whole chapter but I never did get what he meant? Could someone please exsplain? |
Bible Answer: Hi there. I am not sure of all the symbolic meanings etc -- but the basic riddle just refers to the lion and the honey. On his way to his in-laws, Samson saw that honey bees had made a hive inside the dead lion's jaws. He based the riddle on this sight. "Out of the eater [the lion] came something to eat [honey]. Out of the strong came something sweet." .... By the way: the whole story shows messed up family relationships, eh? Should all engaged couples be urged to read this? |
