SAMSON'S RIDDLE:

 

BEES MADE HONEY IN THE LION'S HEAD.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson%27s_riddle

 

Samson's riddle is a riddle that appears in the biblical narrative about Samson. Samson wagered a riddle to thirty Philistine guests, in these words: "Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet" (Judges 14:14). Instead of a fair riddle that could be discerned with deduction, the riddle was based on a private experience of Samson who killed a young lion (kephir)[1] and after a while found bees and honey in its corpse. "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" (Judges 14:18) is the answer to the riddle. The Philistines, who could not solve the riddle, extorted the answer from Samson's wife, who persuaded Samson to tell it to her. The wager's prize was 30 soft under shirts (sedin)[1] and good suits (chalipha)[1] to the winner, for which Samson slew 30 Philistine men to pay the terms.

 

The bee references have to do with actionable extortion and blackmail. They're saying USE THE BLACKMAIL on each other. Just a thought.

 

God Bless.

Learn the Bible, friends. Remember what Bill Cooper said about the deep state using the stories in the Bible to prop up their narrative's sense of importance. "Who am I to stop what God intends," goes the reasoning.

 

God Bless.

BEES MADE HONEY IN THE LION'S HEAD

 

The riddle

The riddle Samson posed to the Philistines is the only explicit example of a riddle in the Hebrew Bible.[11] In its context, the answer to the riddle is honey from the lion's carcass: Honey is "something to eat" and "something sweet", and lion is "the eater" and "something strong". Apparently, the riddle is an unfair one, and can hardly be called a riddle, since it is based on a private experience of Samson which the Philistines could not possibly know about. The Philistine could not even think of an incident like this, since, as stated previously, bees do not normally hive in carcasses. In addition, the words "Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet" can be interpreted in many ways other than referring to honey from a lion.

 

Many commentators have been uncomfortable with the riddle's unsolvable nature, and they have tried to interpret it according to the assumption that it can be solved without knowledge of the incident with the lion and the bees. It is assumed that the riddle originally had an independent answer, not necessarily identical with the one stated in the biblical text, and that only at a later stage in the creation of the narrative was the riddle connected to the incident with the lion and the bees. For instance, it has been posited that the riddle's original meaning, or at least one of its possible meanings, is sexual, with the description of honey as "something to eat" and "something sweet" having originally referred to semen.[12]
