[:en]Thoughts from Judges 13[:]

[:en]The Israelites were under the hands of the Philistines for 40 years.  The Lord wanted to deliver them out of their enemies.  He made the childless wife of Manoah to have a son.  “No razor may be used on his head because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hand of the Philistines”  (v. 5).  The child was born and his name was “SAMSON” which means “sunny”.[:]
