We make such a huge deal over who we should marry. Remember that one time, when the Benjaminites went to that dance party to get wives ( Judges 21:19-25)? Talk about get-r-done!! “ Hey mom, see that cute guy over there in the second-row worshipping Jesus with all his heart? Make him marry me…ok?” SAY WHAT?! Who does that? Apparently, people in the Bible! Not going to like wish I could do that. I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah now get her for me as my wife. He wastes no time and runs home and tells mommy and daddy, Samson decided to take a little trip to Timnah and of course, some exotic foreign feline catches his eye (typical). Samson and The Philistine Woman In TimnahĪll of a sudden Mr. So, scripture doesn’t tell us anything about Samson’s childhood, except he grew and that God blessed him (Judges 14). He was going to bring light to Israel in this dark time. His name was a prophetic statement of what he was called to be “ a bright light.” שִׁמְשׁוֹן Shimshôwn, shim-shone’ from H8121 sunlight Shimshon, an Israelite:-Samson. Now that we have that out of the way let’s get down to business!! What does Samson mean? 12 They must rededicate themselves to the Lord for the same period of dedication and must bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do not count, because they became defiled during their period of dedication. That same day they are to consecrate their head again. 10 Then on the eighth day they must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.ġ1 The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for the Nazirite because they sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. 8 Throughout the period of their dedication, they are consecrated to the Lord.ĩ “‘If someone dies suddenly in the Nazirite’s presence, thus defiling the hair that symbolizes their dedication, they must shave their head on the seventh day-the day of their cleansing. 7 Even if their own father or mother or brother or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of their dedication to God is on their head. “‘Throughout the period of their dedication to the Lord, the Nazirite must not go near a dead body. Dead Bodies: Stay away and no funerals for you! They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins. As long as they remain under their Nazirite vow, they must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins. They must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or other fermented drink. This also means no grapes, raisins, or grape jelly. The Vine: Never drink wine or strong drink. Just in case you are a little rusty let me help you out with what the Nazarite vow consisted of:ĭuring the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor may be used on their head. They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the Lord is over they must let their hair grow long. With that came 3 VERY important rules to follow, on top of te 613 other rules in the Torah. He told them they would have a little boy and he was going to take down the Philistines and that they should dedicate him to the Lord to live a life holy and set apart as a Nazarite (Nazarite literally means ‘ one separated‘). One of these is Samson.īefore Samson was even born his mamma and pop’s had a crazy visitation from the Angel of the Lord. In the book of Judges we see 12 Judges that God appoints. Samson Judge of Israelīefore Israel had kings God would call individuals to become a leader. Those lovely long God-fearing locks that come with a round house kick that would make the bravest of Philistines pee their robes. In my little cute Italian head when I picture Samson I think of a mix between Fabio and Chuck Norris. Let’s take a look at Samson himself, the true man of steel. Samson and The Philistine Woman In Timnahīut before we dive into that part of the story with his scissor-happy seductress.
