  attached to his hair and nazarate.

   * Ge 29:21 Mt 1:20

  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.

  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.}"

   * 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.
