Reading for January 6th

 Read Judges 15.9-20. In 15.9-20: Samson retaliates at Lehi. In verse 11: The dispatch of three thousand men to capture a single individual is humorous. In verse 13: That these are two new ropes adds to the wonder of his escape. In verse 14: Shouting (Heb., "yelling a war cry") conveys their triumph and jubilation. Two vivid images communicate the strength infused by the Spirit of the Lord. In verse 16: The words for donkey and heap are the same in Hebrew. In verse 17: The story of Samson's exploit was preserved by its attachment to two landmarks. In verse 19: His spirit returned, that is his vigor and positive attitude. Comments or Questions..
