What does Judges 16:7-11 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven greend withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven greene withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it touchethf the fire. So his strength was not known.
And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
