After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

He had forty sons and thirty sons' sons, who rode on seventy donkey colts: and he judged Israel eight years.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

for, behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his face was like the face of the angel of God, very awesome; and I didn't ask him whence he was, neither did he tell me his name:

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, I pray you, let us detain you, that we may make ready a kid for you.

אוֹתָ֔ךְ (אוֹתָ֔) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

So Manoah took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it on the rock to Yahweh: and [ergänzt: the angel] did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

But his wife said to him, If Yahweh were pleased to kill us, he wouldn't have received a burnt offering and a meal-offering at our hand, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The woman bore a son, and named him Samson: and the child grew, and Yahweh blessed him.

He came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me as wife.

אוֹתָ֥הּ (אוֹתָ֥) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? Samson said to his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well.

אוֹתָ֣הּ (אוֹתָ֣) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a kid; and he had nothing in his hand: but he didn't tell his father or his mother what he had done.

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

After a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.

Samson said to them, Let me now put forth a riddle to you: if you can declare it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;

אוֹתָ֨הּ (אוֹתָ֨) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

It happened on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire: have you called us to impoverish us? is it not [ergänzt: so]?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אוֹתָ֛ךְ (אוֹתָ֛) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes [ergänzt: of clothing] to those who declared the riddle. His anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But it happened after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.

Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? They said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion. The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אוֹתָ֛הּ (אוֹתָ֛) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.

אוֹתָ֥ם (אוֹתָ֥) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

The men of Judah said, Why are you come up against us? They said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

He was very thirsty, and called on Yahweh, and said, You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore the name of it was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will each give you of us eleven hundred [ergänzt: pieces] of silver.

Now she had liers-in-wait abiding in the inner chamber. She said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. He broke the cords, as a string of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
