And the Spirit of YHWH came mightily upon him, and he tore it apart as the tearing apart of a young goat, with naught in his hand.. he turned aside to look at the carcass of the lion, and saw a\u00a0<strong>swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion<\/strong>.. And he took some of it in his hands and went along, eating. And he came to his father and mother, and gave them, and they ate. But he did not make known to them that he took the honey out of the carcass of the lion\u201d<\/p><p>Judges 14:12-14 \u201c..And Shimshon said to them, \u201cPlease let me put forth a riddle to you\u2026 `<strong>Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness<\/strong>`\u201d<\/p><p>This is the\u00a0only explicit example of a riddle in the Hebrew Bible, and has been described as an unfair one, as it is apparently impossible to guess the answer without knowledge of Samson\u2019s encounter with the lion, which he had kept a secret from everyone.\u00a0 \u00a0Perhaps one could rather take this as a prophecy.<\/p><p>Samson is a picture of the YHWH Himself, who\u00a0<strong>destroys His enemies<\/strong>, yet brings the \u2018<strong>sweet<\/strong>\u2018 to those who abide in Him. Note that \u2018honey\u2019 is one of the things the land was supposed to be flowing with (along with milk) when Moses lead the people out of Egypt, and that a lion is a\u00a0<strong>man-slayer<\/strong>, or\u00a0representative of the dangers\u00a0that Israel faced in Canaan. The lion might logically represent the wicked Philistines\u00a0oppressing\u00a0Israel, or the dangers that Samson (as Israel\u2019s representative) introduces to his own life by marrying a philistine.\u00a0<strong>Honey is the blessing<\/strong>\u00a0to Israel that YHWH will bring from the\u00a0<strong>carcass of the Philistines.<\/strong><\/p><p>The lion\u2019s carcass was an unlikely host for a \u201ccommunity\u201d of bees. But so was Canaan for Israel. For although\u00a0the promised land\u00a0was introduced as a \u201cgood land\u201d, initially YHWH\u2019s nation entered an \u201cunclean\u201d zone. When Israel set foot on their new homeland, they were to destroy all traces of idolatry, on account of which the land was \u201cdefiled\u201d. Of course, the defilement of the land had to do with the uncleanness of the people who used to live in it, so that the state of the land could only be lifted by the death of its inhabitants.\u00a0<strong>Like bees in a carcass, Israel was to inhabit a country of idolaters<\/strong>, a country that became habitable for YHWH\u2019s community only through the death of YHWH\u2019s enemies.<\/p><p>Fun fact.. An illustration of the lion\u2019s corpse with honey bees in it and the second half of the riddle appears prominently on the tin of Lyle\u2019s Golden syrup. The slogan was chosen by Abram Lyle, the inventor of golden syrup.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efddfbb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"efddfbb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shalom-everlasting.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LylesGoldenSyrup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"289\" \/><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8be7e58 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8be7e58\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f869417 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f869417\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">300 Foxes on fire\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f8277d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4f8277d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b512e7c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b512e7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0f6c76 elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"c0f6c76\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\">And Shimshon went and caught three hundred foxes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-job\">Judges 15:4<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b88289 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3b88289\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa40bfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aa40bfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd0c4ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd0c4ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p>Judges 15:4-6 \u201cAnd Shimshon went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned them tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails, and set the torches on fire, and sent them out \u2026 because he took away his wife and gave her to his companion.\u201d Then the Philistines went up and burned her and her father with fire.\u201d<\/p><p>In Scripture, the\u00a0<strong>number 300<\/strong>\u00a0is usually associated with Gideon and his army\u2019s victory over the Midianites in Judges 7-8, where YHWH instructed him to reduce his\u00a0forces to 300 men.
