Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew שִׁמְשׁוֹן (Shimshon) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H8123 (שִׁמְשׁוֹן, Shimshon) Usage: Samson is a proper noun used to refer to a significant biblical figure known for his extraordinary physical strength. He is one of the judges of Israel, whose account is primarily found in the Book of Judges. His name is associated with strength and deliverance, as he was chosen by God to begin the deliverance of Israel from the Philistines. Cultural and Historical Background: Samson lived during a tumultuous period in Israel's history, characterized by cycles of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. As a Nazirite from birth, Samson was set apart for God's service, which included abstaining from wine, avoiding contact with the dead, and not cutting his hair. His life reflects the tension between divine calling and human weakness, as he often struggled with personal desires and disobedience.
