  That is, God permitted it, that it might be a means of

  Now it is not intimated that he did this by his own natural

  was not at his own command, but was, by the will of God,
  attached to his hair and nazarate.

VERSE 7


VERSE 8 
 - to take her.
   * Ge 29:21 Mt 1:20

  It is probable, that the flesh had been entirely consumed off
  the bones, which had become dry; and the body having been
  throw into some private place, (for Samson turned aside to
  visit it,) a swarm of bees had formed their combs in the
  cavity of the dry ribs, or region of the thorax; nor was it a
  more improper place than a hollow rock.

- the seven.
   * Ge 29:27,28 2Ch 7:8
- sheets.  or, shirts.
  This will receive illustration from Mr. Jackson's description
  of the Moorish dress:--"It resembles that of the ancient
  patriarchs, as represented in paintings; (but the paintings
  are taken from Asiatic models:)  that of the men consists of a
  red cap and turban, a ({kumja}) shirt, which hangs outside of
  the drawers, and comes below the knee; a ({caftan}) coat,
  which buttons close before, and down to the bottom with large
  open sleeves; over which, when they go out of doors, they
  throw carelessly, and sometimes elegantly, a {hayk,} or
  garment of white cotton, silk, or wool, five or six yards
  long, and five feet wide.  The Arabs often dispense with the
  {caftan,} and even with the shirt, wearing nothing but the
  {hayk.}"

- they could.
   * Pr 24:7 Mt 13:11 Ac 8:31


VERSE 15 
 - on the seventh day.
  The LXX. reads "on the fourth day;" with which the Syriac and
  Arabic agree.  This, as Dr. Wall observes, is certainly right;
  for it appears from ver. 17, that she wept the remainder of
  the seven days; for which there could have been no time, if
  they did not threaten her till the seventh.

- Entice.
