Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Before kings, before freedom, God raised up a man.
- 0:21Speaker 2: No army could stop him. But the strongest man would
- 0:51Speaker 2: not be defeated by war.
- 0:56Speaker 3: If you love me, tell me, Lord, remember me, Oh
- 1:22Speaker 3: what don.
- 1:43Speaker 2: In those days Israel once again did what was evil
- 1:46Speaker 2: in the sight of the Lord. There was no king
- 1:49Speaker 2: declaring rebellion, no army rising up. It happened more quietly,
- 1:55Speaker 2: more slowly, like a forgotten ember, still burning beneath the end.
- 2:01Speaker 2: The altars still stood, the festivals continued, Families still spoke
- 2:07Speaker 2: the name of the Lord, but something had changed their hearts.
- 2:12Speaker 2: No longer belonged completely to him, and so the Philistines
- 2:18Speaker 2: grew stronger, first along the borders, then in the cities,
- 2:32Speaker 2: and eventually everywhere. Soldiers marched along the roads, Taxes increased,
- 2:58Speaker 2: weapons became scarce. Little by little, Israel learned to live
- 3:04Speaker 2: under oppression. Forty years passed, forty years with heads lowered,
- 3:11Speaker 2: forty years obeying foreign commands. Forty years waiting without expecting
- 3:17Speaker 2: anything to change. But God had not stopped working. In
- 3:22Speaker 2: the hill country of Zora lived a man named Manoah.
- 3:26Speaker 2: His life was simple, wake up, work, return home, and
- 3:31Speaker 2: begin again the next day. Beside him was his wife.
- 3:38Speaker 2: They had learned to live together through the years, yet
- 3:41Speaker 2: a silence remained within their house. It appeared in small moments,
- 3:47Speaker 2: a bed left empty, a plate never used, a chair
- 3:52Speaker 2: that served no purpose. They had no children, no inheritance,
- 3:58Speaker 2: no future growing before their eyes. The years passed, and
- 4:03Speaker 2: eventually they stopped asking why. Then came that day the
- 4:10Speaker 2: sun shone over the fields. As Manoah's wife worked alone
- 4:14Speaker 2: separating grain, suddenly something changed, not the wind, but the
- 4:20Speaker 2: atmosphere itself. She looked up and saw someone standing there,
- 4:26Speaker 2: a man, Yet he did not seem like someone who
- 4:29Speaker 2: had arrived by walking. He simply was there.
- 4:38Speaker 4: You have never had children, but.
- 4:43Speaker 5: You will now be careful.
- 4:54Speaker 6: Do not drink wine, do not eat anything unclean.
- 5:01Speaker 5: You will bear a sun.
- 5:03Speaker 2: No razor shall ever touch his head, because he will
- 5:06Speaker 2: be set apart for God.
- 5:08Speaker 6: From the wound, he will begin to deliver Israel.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Then he was gone. She remained standing there. The field
- 5:20Speaker 2: looked exactly the same, yet something had changed. Forever. She
- 5:26Speaker 2: ran and found Manoah. He immediately saw that something was different.
- 5:31Speaker 5: Woman. What happened?
- 5:36Speaker 7: A man came, but he was no ordinary man. We
- 5:44Speaker 7: will have a son, and he belongs to the Lord.
- 5:52Speaker 2: That night, neither of them slept. Manoah went outside, sat
- 5:57Speaker 2: beneath the open sky, looked to heaven and prayed. He
- 6:02Speaker 2: was not asking for confirmation. He was asking for guidance.
- 6:09Speaker 5: Lord, if this came from you, teach us.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Days later he returned. She ran called Manoah, and the
- 6:24Speaker 2: two of them stood before him. Manoah took a deep breath,
- 6:29Speaker 2: and he asked, if.
- 6:35Speaker 5: What you told us truly comes to pass, how should
- 6:39Speaker 5: we raise the boy? The woman must keep.
- 6:43Speaker 8: All that was said, drink no wine, touch nothing unclean,
- 6:52Speaker 8: because the boy will be set apart for God from
- 6:56Speaker 8: the womb.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Manoah kept listening, like a man trying to understand something
- 7:06Speaker 2: greater than himself. He looked at his wife, then turned
- 7:10Speaker 2: his eyes back to the man, and he spoke.
- 7:13Speaker 5: Stay with us, let us prepare food for you.
- 7:19Speaker 8: I will not eat your bread, but if you wish
- 7:24Speaker 8: to offer something, offer it to the Lord.
- 7:29Speaker 2: In that moment, Manoah still did not fully understand who
- 7:33Speaker 2: stood before him. He nodded slowly, then he asked, what.
- 7:40Speaker 5: Is your name? When all of this comes to pass,
- 7:48Speaker 5: we want to honor you.
- 7:50Speaker 2: The man stood still as the wind moved his garments.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Then came the answer.
- 8:00Speaker 6: Why do you ask my name? It is too wonderful.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Manoah looked at his wife. There was fear now, true fear,
- 8:14Speaker 2: but also peace. He set apart a young goat, prepared
- 8:18Speaker 2: an offering, and placed it upon the rock. The fire
- 8:23Speaker 2: rose slowly. The flames began small, then they grew. The
- 8:28Speaker 2: man remained still before them, and then it happened. As
- 8:35Speaker 2: the fire rose, the man rose with it. Light, flames
- 8:40Speaker 2: wind until he disappeared. Manoah fell with his face to
- 8:52Speaker 2: the ground, breathing heavily, and he whispered.
- 9:02Speaker 5: We have seen the messenger of the Lord.
- 9:05Speaker 2: His wife knelt down beside him, looking at the fire,
- 9:09Speaker 2: and she answered, if the.
- 9:16Speaker 9: Lord wanted to destroy us, he would not have promised
- 9:20Speaker 9: us life.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Months passed and then the cry a boy, small alive.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Manoah held him, looked at him, and he said.
- 9:38Speaker 5: My son, My little son, Samson.
- 9:46Speaker 2: The years began. The boy was growing, He ran, he laughed,
- 9:52Speaker 2: he learned. But there were differences even as a child,
- 9:57Speaker 2: he noticed. He watched the other children.
- 10:02Speaker 10: Then he asked, mother, why do I never cut my hair?
- 10:14Speaker 2: She looked at him, then knelt down, and she answered.
- 10:19Speaker 7: Because you belonged to the Lord.
- 10:24Speaker 10: More than the others.
- 10:29Speaker 7: Everyone belongs to the Lord, but some are given a mission.
- 10:39Speaker 2: He did not understand, but he held it inside. Another afternoon,
- 10:45Speaker 2: Manoah was working and Samson was helping, carrying wood. Without
- 10:50Speaker 2: realizing it, he broke an entire peace. He stood still,
- 10:55Speaker 2: startled and looked at his own hands. Manoah came closer,
- 11:00Speaker 2: picked up the piece, looked at his son, and then.
- 11:04Speaker 5: He asked, Samson, was it you.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Manoah sat down beside him, and he said.
- 11:19Speaker 5: Listen, Strength without obedience destroys men. Never forget. You were
- 11:32Speaker 5: not set apart to be greater. You were set apart
- 11:37Speaker 5: to serve.
- 11:39Speaker 2: The years went on, Samson grew taller, stronger, faster, sometimes
- 11:46Speaker 2: too strong. But there was something else growing alongside, something invisible,
- 11:53Speaker 2: something no one yet understood. Because while Israel went on
- 11:58Speaker 2: living under domination, while the Philistines believed they controlled the
- 12:02Speaker 2: future in silence, deliverance was growing. The years passed and
- 12:10Speaker 2: Samson was no longer a boy. His body grew and
- 12:13Speaker 2: his strength began to draw attention. When he walked through
- 12:17Speaker 2: the fields, the men stared. When he carried a load.
- 12:21Speaker 2: It seemed the wood, the stones and the burdens obeyed
- 12:24Speaker 2: his hands. But inside Manoah's house he was still a son,
- 12:29Speaker 2: and to his mother he was still a promise. There
- 12:32Speaker 2: were nights when she watched him in silence, the long
- 12:36Speaker 2: hair falling over his shoulders, the same sign, the same reminder.
- 12:41Speaker 2: That was not vanity, It was a vow. It was separation.
- 12:46Speaker 2: It was the visible testimony of something invisible. One night,
- 12:52Speaker 2: Manoah found him sitting outside the house, looking into the distance.
- 12:58Speaker 5: You seem restless. What are you looking for? I don't know,
- 13:12Speaker 5: but I know it's not here. Not everything that draws
- 13:15Speaker 5: the eyes comes from God, and not.
- 13:19Speaker 11: Everything far away is forbidden.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Manoah did not answer. He just stayed there because there
- 13:29Speaker 2: were things a father could teach, and there were things
- 13:32Speaker 2: a son would learn only on his own. Days later,
- 13:37Speaker 2: Samson went down to Timna, a city of the Philistines.
- 13:41Speaker 2: There everything was different, the clothes, the voices, the markets,
- 13:46Speaker 2: the soldiers, the women, the glances. Samson walked among them
- 13:51Speaker 2: like someone who did not belong there, yet did not
- 13:55Speaker 2: want to leave. And it was there that he saw her,
- 13:59Speaker 2: a young Philistine woman, moving through the crowd, calmly, without hurry,
- 14:04Speaker 2: without noticing. She was being watched, or perhaps noticing, Samson
- 14:10Speaker 2: stopped and for a moment, all the noise of the
- 14:13Speaker 2: city seemed to fade. She turned her face, their eyes met.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Nothing was said, but something entered his heart. When Samson
- 14:25Speaker 2: returned home, his mother noticed. Before he spoke, he stayed silent.
- 14:35Speaker 7: You're different, my son. You saw something.
- 14:41Speaker 5: I saw a woman in Timnah.
- 14:48Speaker 1: I want to marry her among the Philistines.
- 14:57Speaker 5: Yes, is there no woman among our own people?
- 15:11Speaker 7: My son, you were set apart before you were born.
- 15:20Speaker 5: I know. Knowing is not the same as obeying. She
- 15:27Speaker 5: pleased me bring her to me.
- 15:32Speaker 2: That night, Manoah and his wife stayed awake outside. Samson
- 15:37Speaker 2: remained silent inside the house. His mother wept softly. He
- 15:46Speaker 2: doesn't understand, Manoah answered.
- 15:50Speaker 5: Perhaps I understand too much strength came before wisdom.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Days later, they set out for Tymna. The road cut
- 16:02Speaker 2: through hills, rocks, and vineyards. Samson walked ahead, Manoah behind,
- 16:08Speaker 2: his mother, following in silence. For a while. No one spoke.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Then Manoah called out.
- 16:15Speaker 5: Samson, did you hear what we said? I heard, But
- 16:23Speaker 5: my heart is decided. The heart decides quickly. The consequences
- 16:30Speaker 5: walk slowly.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Little by little, he drifted away from them, first a
- 16:40Speaker 2: few steps, then more, until he was alone among the
- 16:44Speaker 2: vines of Tymna. The sound of the wind grew, leaves stirred,
- 16:50Speaker 2: branches swayed. Samson walked slowly, lost in thought. Then a
- 16:57Speaker 2: sound lo distant. He stopped. Another sound closer, A roar, deep, violent.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Among the vines. The brush split open, and a young
- 17:13Speaker 2: lion appeared, strong, hungry, wild, its eyes fixed on him.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Samson looked around, no weapon, no stone, no way to run,
- 17:28Speaker 2: only him and the beast. The lion roared again and lunged,
- 17:35Speaker 2: and in that instant something came over him, not like anger,
- 17:40Speaker 2: not like ordinary courage, but like an invisible fire, like
- 17:45Speaker 2: strength descending from above.
- 17:52Speaker 5: Cobler.
- 18:04Speaker 2: The lion fell motionless. Samson stood still, breathing heavily, and
- 18:12Speaker 2: looked at his own hands. For the first time, he
- 18:16Speaker 2: seemed to fear the strength he carried. When he returned
- 18:21Speaker 2: to his parents, he said nothing. He just kept walking.
- 18:25Speaker 2: But something had changed, because until then his strength had
- 18:30Speaker 2: been a sign. In that moment, it began to feel
- 18:35Speaker 2: like power. Some time later, Samson came back along the
- 18:40Speaker 2: same road and passed the place of the lion. He stopped.
- 18:45Speaker 2: The body was still there, but inside it there were
- 18:49Speaker 2: bees and honey, golden, abundant. Samson came closer, looked around,
- 18:58Speaker 2: reached out his hand, took and ate. The sweetness lingered
- 19:03Speaker 2: in his mouth and he smiled. Then he brought some
- 19:07Speaker 2: to his parents. His mother took it mana too, and
- 19:12Speaker 2: they ate, without knowing where it came from. Samson watched
- 19:18Speaker 2: and said nothing. The wedding began to be prepared, and
- 19:22Speaker 2: Timna filled with music. Men came, women came. The Philistines
- 19:41Speaker 2: watched the Israelite with curiosity, some with contempt, others with fear.
- 19:48Speaker 2: The young woman came up to Samson during the feast.
- 19:52Speaker 5: They talk about you, they always do.
- 19:57Speaker 7: Do you like it?
- 20:01Speaker 5: Sometimes? And when you don't, I leave?
- 20:09Speaker 2: Then stay, And for a moment he stayed. During those days,
- 20:18Speaker 2: Samson seemed different, lighter, almost happy. He talked little, but
- 20:24Speaker 2: watched much. He believed he could belong to that place.
- 20:29Speaker 2: He believed he could choose his own path without losing
- 20:33Speaker 2: what he carried. Thirty companions were placed at his side,
- 20:39Speaker 2: not out of friendship, but for surveillance. Philistine men, false smiles,
- 20:47Speaker 2: watchful eyes. One night, Samson stood up. The wine flowed
- 20:53Speaker 2: among the guests, and voices filled the house. He looked
- 20:57Speaker 2: at the men and.
- 20:58Speaker 12: He said, I have a riddle, then speak Israelite. If
- 21:07Speaker 12: you solve it during the days of the feast, I
- 21:11Speaker 12: will give thirty garments. If you don't solve it, you
- 21:18Speaker 12: will give to me.
- 21:20Speaker 5: Out of the eater came food.
- 21:24Speaker 12: Out of the strong came sweetness.
- 21:31Speaker 2: The men looked at one another, no one understood. Days passed,
- 21:38Speaker 2: the laughter faded, the tension grew until they called Samson's
- 21:44Speaker 2: wife away from him.
- 21:46Speaker 11: Find out I don't know, then make him tell, or
- 21:53Speaker 11: will burn her.
- 21:55Speaker 6: And your father's house.
- 22:05Speaker 2: That night, she sat down beside Samson. She did not smile,
- 22:10Speaker 2: and he noticed.
- 22:12Speaker 5: What's wrong? You hate me? What are you saying?
- 22:23Speaker 7: You gave my people a riddle, but you didn't tell me.
- 22:30Speaker 5: I didn't even tell my father, so I'm less than them.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Days passed, she wept, she insisted, she drew close. She
- 22:47Speaker 2: pulled away, and Samson, who could overpower a lion, could
- 22:53Speaker 2: not resist a woman's tears. On the last day, he
- 22:57Speaker 2: told her, and when the men came, their faces already
- 23:01Speaker 2: held the answer.
- 23:03Speaker 5: One of them said, what is sweeter than honey? Ha
- 23:08Speaker 5: ha ha ha, And what is stronger than the lion?
- 23:15Speaker 2: Samson stood motionless as the sound of the feast vanished.
- 23:19Speaker 2: He looked at her, She looked away. He understood. Then
- 23:26Speaker 2: he looked at the men, and he said.
- 23:29Speaker 5: If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would
- 23:36Speaker 5: not have solved my riddle.
- 23:39Speaker 2: The silence grew heavy, the joy left his face, and
- 23:44Speaker 2: in that instant something broke, not only the feast, not
- 23:49Speaker 2: only the marriage, but something inside Samson, because the strength
- 23:55Speaker 2: that tore the lion apart could not protect his heart,
- 24:00Speaker 2: and the man set apart from the womb began to
- 24:02Speaker 2: walk by the choices he himself desired. Samson left the feast,
- 24:08Speaker 2: but he did not return at once. He walked without direction,
- 24:13Speaker 2: the sound of the celebration growing distant, the voices fading,
- 24:18Speaker 2: the night growing silent. For a while, he just walked.
- 24:23Speaker 2: When he reached home, no one asked anything. His mother looked,
- 24:27Speaker 2: saw his face and understood. That night no one spoke.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Days passed. The silence eased the anger too, and then
- 24:40Speaker 2: Samson decided to go back, not out of pride, not
- 24:44Speaker 2: out of rivalry, but because he still believed he brought
- 24:51Speaker 2: a gift simple like someone who wishes to start again.
- 24:56Speaker 2: He arrived, stopped before the house breathed, but the door
- 25:01Speaker 2: did not open. Then the father appeared, still no smile.
- 25:08Speaker 5: Where is she? I thought you wouldn't come back, so
- 25:15Speaker 5: I gave her to another. But her sister is younger.
- 25:23Speaker 5: Take her.
- 25:27Speaker 13: This time.
- 25:28Speaker 5: No one will say it was my fault.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Then he turned and left. But something had changed. Until
- 25:37Speaker 2: then Samson had been wounded. Now he began to harden.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Days later, people began to see him in the fields, alone, watching, waiting, preparing.
- 25:52Speaker 2: No one understood until night came torches, movement, the sound
- 26:00Speaker 2: of animals, fire, first one field, then another, then another.
- 26:09Speaker 2: The horizon turned red, the wheat vanished, the vineyards burned,
- 26:15Speaker 2: the smoke rose. By morning, the Philistines came out. They looked,
- 26:28Speaker 2: everything destroyed?
- 26:32Speaker 5: Who did this? Samson? Because of the woman.
- 26:40Speaker 2: The men fell silent. Then they set out, climbed up
- 26:45Speaker 2: to that house, and that same night the fire returned.
- 26:51Speaker 2: But now upon people the house burned. She died, her
- 27:01Speaker 2: father too. When Samson heard, he did not answer. He
- 27:07Speaker 2: stood still for a long time. Then he asked, did
- 27:12Speaker 2: they do this?
- 27:16Speaker 5: Then it's over? Now it's war.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Samson came down. There was no army, no plan. He
- 27:29Speaker 2: would appear, strike and vanish. The Philistines began to tell stories.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Some said it was many men, others swore it was
- 27:40Speaker 2: only one. Israel began to hear in the houses in
- 27:46Speaker 2: the fields at meals.
- 27:51Speaker 5: Did you hear Samson attacked again?
- 27:57Speaker 7: Maybe God is moving.
- 28:00Speaker 2: For the first time in a long while. Hope appeared,
- 28:05Speaker 2: but Samson did not stay. He went up to eat
- 28:09Speaker 2: him a rock and stayed alone days without speaking, without returning. Meanwhile,
- 28:20Speaker 2: the Philistines gathered men, entered Judah and made camp. The
- 28:26Speaker 2: men of the region came out and asked.
- 28:33Speaker 5: Why have you come. We want Samson. We will do
- 28:39Speaker 5: to him what he did to us.
- 28:43Speaker 2: No man spoke of fighting. They accepted. Three thousand men
- 28:49Speaker 2: went up. They found Samson seated looking at the horizon.
- 28:54Speaker 2: One of them said, you know who rules over us?
- 29:02Speaker 2: Why did you bring this on us?
- 29:06Speaker 4: I only paid back what they did. We've come to
- 29:12Speaker 4: hand you over. Are you going to kill me? No,
- 29:23Speaker 4: We'll only tie you.
- 29:25Speaker 2: Samson rose looked at them, then held out his arms
- 29:30Speaker 2: new ropes, tight arms, chest wrists, and they began to
- 29:36Speaker 2: lead him down. When the Philistines saw they shouted, they laughed,
- 29:42Speaker 2: they celebrated. At last, the man who spread fear was bound.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Samson walked head low until he stopped. The wind shifted,
- 30:02Speaker 2: and then it came the same strength, the same presents.
- 30:11Speaker 2: The ropes began to snap, one then another, and they
- 30:15Speaker 2: fell like burned threads. The Philistines froze. Sampson looked around,
- 30:23Speaker 2: no sword, no spear. Then he saw it on the ground,
- 30:29Speaker 2: a jawbone, old and white. He took it, breathed, and charged.
- 30:46Speaker 2: The impact was a meeting shouts and dust. Soldiers falling,
- 30:52Speaker 2: and they tried to surround him, but they could not.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Every man who came me fell. The fear began to grow,
- 31:08Speaker 2: first among a few, and then among all, until the
- 31:12Speaker 2: whole field turned to flight. When it ended, only the
- 31:18Speaker 2: wind remained. Samson stood still, breathing heavily, and looked around,
- 31:29Speaker 2: bodies dust. He raised the jawbone, and he said.
- 31:41Speaker 5: With a jawbone, I made heaps.
- 31:47Speaker 2: But then his hand fell. The strength passed, his body
- 31:52Speaker 2: grew heavy, his throat burned. He fell, looked up at
- 31:58Speaker 2: the sky and he spoke.
- 32:02Speaker 5: You gave me this victory, Now will I die here?
- 32:12Speaker 2: Then the rock split open water clean flowing, Samson drank.
- 32:23Speaker 2: He knelt, saying nothing as the wind passed. As Israel
- 32:27Speaker 2: learned his name, as the Philistines learned to fear him,
- 32:33Speaker 2: and as the strongest man in the land, began to
- 32:36Speaker 2: believe that winning was the same as being on the
- 32:40Speaker 2: right path. After that day, Israel began to speak his name,
- 32:46Speaker 2: first in a low voice, then without fear.
- 32:51Speaker 5: Samson, my nephew, was there, he said. The Philistines came
- 33:01Speaker 5: like an army, and how many were with Samson.
- 33:06Speaker 1: No one, just him and a jaw bone.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Men told stories, women repeated them. Children imitated him. For
- 33:20Speaker 2: the first time in a long while, the Philistines were
- 33:24Speaker 2: not the only subject. Now there was a man, and
- 33:29Speaker 2: where there was hope, people began to seek him out.
- 33:33Speaker 2: At first few came, a man, a family, a request.
- 33:39Speaker 2: Then more came, until one day a line formed. Samson
- 33:45Speaker 2: was sitting beneath a tree watching. A man approached and
- 33:49Speaker 2: lowered his head.
- 33:51Speaker 14: They took our harvest, Who philistines, they took my animals.
- 34:04Speaker 5: My brother was beaten. Please we need help.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Samson stayed silent, looked, breathed, and rose. No speech, no promise,
- 34:21Speaker 2: He just rose. Days later he returned the harvest was returned,
- 34:29Speaker 2: and the men too, and the stories began.
- 34:32Speaker 5: Amy does Samson know God? I think God knows Sampson.
- 34:43Speaker 2: The years passed, and Samson began to judge Israel, not
- 34:47Speaker 2: as a king, not as a priest, but as a
- 34:50Speaker 2: man who showed up when no one else did. Conflicts
- 34:55Speaker 2: came land, debts injustices, and he listened. Once two brothers arrived, arguing.
- 35:03Speaker 2: One pointed, the other answered.
- 35:06Speaker 12: He lied, He took what was mine?
- 35:13Speaker 5: Did you come to win or to resolve?
- 35:18Speaker 2: The two fell silent, and for the first time they
- 35:22Speaker 2: began to talk. People noticed Samson was not only strength,
- 35:29Speaker 2: there was presence. But the more the people drew near,
- 35:33Speaker 2: the more he withdrew. One night, he returned home and
- 35:38Speaker 2: found Manoah sitting older, now white hair.
- 35:43Speaker 5: You came back. How many came?
- 35:49Speaker 6: Today?
- 35:52Speaker 1: Many? And who came for you? You listened to everyone
- 36:00Speaker 1: who listens to you.
- 36:05Speaker 2: That night he did not sleep. Days later, another city,
- 36:12Speaker 2: another problem. A woman came carrying a child. Samson kept
- 36:17Speaker 2: looking at her.
- 36:22Speaker 7: They took my husband. I have no one.
- 36:29Speaker 2: He took the child's hand, and he answered.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Now you have someone. I'll bring your husband back.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Days passed and he brought the man back, and the
- 36:43Speaker 2: people kept gathering around him. One afternoon, some young men
- 36:48Speaker 2: were training, imitating his movements.
- 36:50Speaker 10: Laughing, one of them asked, Samson, how does someone get
- 36:56Speaker 10: strong like you.
- 36:59Speaker 5: By starting small?
- 37:00Speaker 4: Ha? Ha?
- 37:03Speaker 2: The young man laughed, but he kept looking because he
- 37:07Speaker 2: knew it was not true. Another time, a boy asked.
- 37:14Speaker 10: Have you ever felt fear?
- 37:20Speaker 5: Every man does?
- 37:24Speaker 1: Of what.
- 37:27Speaker 5: Of finding out that alone he is smaller than he seems.
- 37:34Speaker 2: The boy did not understand, but Samson understood. The years
- 37:39Speaker 2: went on, the people grew, and the stories too. Men
- 37:44Speaker 2: began to exaggerate. They said Samson never grew tired, never lost,
- 37:48Speaker 2: never suffered, And little by little Samson began to listen,
- 37:53Speaker 2: and he began to believe it, not out of pride,
- 37:57Speaker 2: but out of habit. One night, walking back alone, he
- 38:02Speaker 2: stopped and looked at his hands, the same hands from
- 38:06Speaker 2: the lion, from the jawbone, from the battles. He breathed,
- 38:12Speaker 2: and he realized it had been a long time since
- 38:16Speaker 2: he had asked God anything, a long time since he
- 38:21Speaker 2: had done nothing but act. But he did not stop.
- 38:24Speaker 2: He went on, because when everyone expects something of you,
- 38:29Speaker 2: it is hard to admit that you are tired. Years passed,
- 38:34Speaker 2: twenty twenty years, hearing names, twenty years, hearing requests, twenty
- 38:42Speaker 2: years being called liberator, judge, strong man. But there was
- 38:49Speaker 2: one thing no one called Samson Son friend, ordinary man,
- 38:57Speaker 2: and little by little he began to feel something he
- 39:01Speaker 2: couldn't explain. It wasn't sadness, it wasn't fear. It was weariness,
- 39:09Speaker 2: weariness that didn't go away with sleep, weariness that continued
- 39:15Speaker 2: even after victories. One morning, people were already waiting before sunrise. Men, women, problems.
- 39:27Speaker 2: Samson went out. He sat down, He began.
- 39:32Speaker 15: They took my land, they took my brother.
- 39:38Speaker 2: I need help the whole day without stopping. When it
- 39:43Speaker 2: was over, the sun had already disappeared, Samson sat still moving.
- 39:51Speaker 2: A boy approached, young admiring eyes. He asked, how do
- 39:58Speaker 2: you do it?
- 40:02Speaker 5: Do what? Never stopping? I stopped a long time ago.
- 40:10Speaker 2: The boy didn't understand. He went away, but Samson kept watching.
- 40:15Speaker 2: That night, he returned home. He found his mother preparing food. Older, now,
- 40:22Speaker 2: her movements slower.
- 40:26Speaker 7: You look thinner? Are you well?
- 40:33Speaker 6: I am?
- 40:37Speaker 16: When you were little you told me everything. Now I
- 40:45Speaker 16: only find out from others.
- 40:53Speaker 2: Samson didn't answer. Later, she touched his hair as she
- 40:59Speaker 2: did when he was a boy, and asked, do.
- 41:03Speaker 7: You still remember.
- 41:07Speaker 5: Who you were?
- 41:11Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 41:12Speaker 2: She smiled, but her eyes were sad. The next morning,
- 41:17Speaker 2: Manoah was sitting outside, older, quieter.
- 41:22Speaker 5: So when was the last time you rested? When was
- 41:31Speaker 5: the last time Israel rested? That wasn't the plan.
- 41:46Speaker 2: The days went by, more problems, more people, more requests,
- 41:52Speaker 2: one city calling, then another, then another, until it began.
- 42:02Speaker 5: My brother, my brother, and.
- 42:13Speaker 15: Only the frinch as I kept you wants.
- 42:18Speaker 3: Over yourself.
- 42:20Speaker 2: The man was surprised. Samson was too, He had never
- 42:24Speaker 2: answered like that before. That night, he didn't go home.
- 42:30Speaker 2: He walked aimlessly, like he did when he was young.
- 42:34Speaker 2: He climbed hills, he went down paths until he reached
- 42:39Speaker 2: the valley of Sorek. It was different there. There was
- 42:43Speaker 2: no crowd, There were no requests, only wind, vines, silence.
- 42:50Speaker 2: He sat down, he breathed, He stayed. He returned the
- 42:56Speaker 2: next day, then again, then more, and till he began
- 43:00Speaker 2: to know the paths, the vines, the silence. And then
- 43:05Speaker 2: he saw a woman walking among the vines. Nothing extraordinary,
- 43:11Speaker 2: but there was calm. She didn't seem to need anything.
- 43:15Speaker 2: She didn't ask for anything. She just walked. Samson watched,
- 43:21Speaker 2: and for the first time in a long time, he
- 43:25Speaker 2: didn't think about battle. Without knowing that his next battle
- 43:30Speaker 2: wouldn't be against men, she realized. She kept walking. Days
- 43:36Speaker 2: later he returned. She was there again.
- 43:41Speaker 5: He passed by.
- 43:42Speaker 2: She looked. On the third day, she spoke.
- 43:47Speaker 9: You always show up, maybe or maybe you're running running
- 43:54Speaker 9: from what If you knew, you wouldn't be here.
- 43:58Speaker 2: She kept walking. Samson stayed. Days later he came back.
- 44:05Speaker 2: She was sitting looking at the horizon. He came closer.
- 44:10Speaker 7: Do you work.
- 44:12Speaker 5: A little?
- 44:14Speaker 17: You seem too tired for someone who works little. What's
- 44:26Speaker 17: your name?
- 44:28Speaker 5: Samson?
- 44:33Speaker 7: The Samson?
- 44:35Speaker 2: She kept looking. Then she smiled, but not the way
- 44:39Speaker 2: others smiled. There was no admiration nor fear, only curiosity.
- 44:46Speaker 17: And when you're not saving anyone, who are you?
- 44:54Speaker 2: I don't know, She nodded as if she understood. They
- 44:58Speaker 2: sat in silence. The wind passed, and for the first
- 45:02Speaker 2: time in a long while, no one asked anything of him.
- 45:08Speaker 2: No problem, no expectation, no story, only presents. When the
- 45:17Speaker 2: sun began to disappear, Samson stood up. She asked, will
- 45:24Speaker 2: you come back?
- 45:26Speaker 17: Maybe then until tomorrow.
- 45:32Speaker 2: Samson began to leave, stopped, turned and asked.
- 45:38Speaker 5: Your name, Telilah.
- 45:47Speaker 2: Samson nodded, and he left, not knowing that some battles
- 45:54Speaker 2: do not begin with swords. They begin when a tired
- 45:59Speaker 2: man a place where he finally believes that he can rest.
- 46:04Speaker 2: Samson came back the next day, and the day after,
- 46:08Speaker 2: and then again. At first he would not admit it
- 46:11Speaker 2: to himself. He said he needed to rest, that he
- 46:14Speaker 2: needed to get away, that he needed to breathe. But
- 46:18Speaker 2: he began to realize he was no longer going to Sorek.
- 46:22Speaker 2: He was going to meet her. Delilah. She did not
- 46:27Speaker 2: ask too many questions, She did not talk too much,
- 46:31Speaker 2: and perhaps that was it. Beside her, there was no crowd,
- 46:36Speaker 2: no judge, no deliverer, only a man. The meetings began,
- 46:41Speaker 2: small conversations, walks, silence. She watched, she listened, and Samson
- 46:50Speaker 2: he talked more than he used to. One afternoon, they
- 46:54Speaker 2: were sitting near the water. Delilah asked, always know know
- 47:02Speaker 2: what that it would be different?
- 47:07Speaker 11: No, but everyone knew through me. When I was little,
- 47:18Speaker 11: my mother said I'd been set apart.
- 47:21Speaker 15: Did you like it?
- 47:24Speaker 5: I liked it? When it was a story. It got
- 47:32Speaker 5: harder when it became a responsibility.
- 47:35Speaker 2: She kept looking without answering. Days passed, and Samson began
- 47:40Speaker 2: to appear less at home, less in the cities, more
- 47:44Speaker 2: in the valley. One night, his mother asked.
- 47:48Speaker 7: You've been distant.
- 47:51Speaker 5: I'm just tired.
- 47:53Speaker 7: It doesn't look like tiredness. It looks like you found somewhere.
- 47:59Speaker 2: Samson did not answer.
- 48:04Speaker 1: Just be careful, my son, of what of what looks
- 48:08Speaker 1: like rest?
- 48:10Speaker 5: But asks too much.
- 48:15Speaker 2: Days later, Samson returned to Sorek Delilah was sitting.
- 48:20Speaker 17: She asked, do you always listen to everyone?
- 48:24Speaker 5: Almost?
- 48:26Speaker 7: And who listens to you? Thought so?
- 48:35Speaker 2: For the first time, Samson realized she saw things others
- 48:40Speaker 2: did not see or seemed to. The months passed. Now
- 48:45Speaker 2: she knew his routines, his silences, his fears, and Samson
- 48:51Speaker 2: began to trust. He began to stay. He began to
- 48:55Speaker 2: remain until the Philistine rulers found out, and they understood.
- 49:01Speaker 2: Swords had failed, armies had failed, but now there was
- 49:06Speaker 2: a door. They went to her at night, sat and
- 49:10Speaker 2: laid out silver a great deal. One of them said,
- 49:19Speaker 2: find out.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Where his strength comes from, and if.
- 49:31Speaker 2: I do, you'll never need anything again?
- 49:40Speaker 3: What if I don't want?
- 49:42Speaker 5: Everyone chooses something.
- 49:51Speaker 2: They left and Delilah was left alone thinking. Days later,
- 50:03Speaker 2: Samson arrived. Everything seemed the same, but it was not.
- 50:09Speaker 5: Can I ask something you always do?
- 50:15Speaker 7: How would someone tie you up?
- 50:17Speaker 5: New ropes?
- 50:19Speaker 2: She laughed, but she kept it. That night men came.
- 50:31Speaker 16: Ropes, Samson the fill the stings.
- 50:40Speaker 2: He rose, and the ropes snapped like nothing. He looked
- 50:45Speaker 2: at her, Why did you lie?
- 50:49Speaker 5: Because it was a strange question.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Days passed and she came back softer, closer, Another question,
- 50:59Speaker 2: another an answer, another lie, another attempt, and every time
- 51:05Speaker 2: Samson won, but something began to change. He no longer laughed,
- 51:11Speaker 2: neither did she.
- 51:14Speaker 7: Do you trust me?
- 51:17Speaker 3: Yes?
- 51:19Speaker 7: And why do you never answer? You talk to me,
- 51:26Speaker 7: but you never reached me. Who are you.
- 51:30Speaker 17: When no one is watching.
- 51:37Speaker 5: My whole life?
- 51:40Speaker 11: People have expected something from me, and I always tried
- 51:44Speaker 11: to live up to it, but sometimes I just wanted
- 51:49Speaker 11: to be normal.
- 51:51Speaker 7: And what stops you.
- 51:56Speaker 5: Me?
- 52:00Speaker 3: And let me in? Just once?
- 52:06Speaker 11: Since before I was born, I was set apart for God.
- 52:13Speaker 11: A razor has never touched my hair. If it's cut,
- 52:23Speaker 11: it's over. Delilah did not answer.
- 52:26Speaker 2: She kept looking that night Samson slept deeply, like a
- 52:32Speaker 2: man who had finally believed that he could rest. She
- 52:36Speaker 2: watched for a long time. Then she called some one.
- 52:44Speaker 7: The secret is his hair. When I cut it, it's.
- 52:48Speaker 2: Over footsteps a blade. A lock of hair fell, then another,
- 52:58Speaker 2: then another, until it was done. She looked at him
- 53:06Speaker 2: and she said.
- 53:12Speaker 7: The Philistines.
- 53:14Speaker 2: He opened his eyes, breathed, and rose. As always, as
- 53:19Speaker 2: so many times before, he thought, I will win. But
- 53:25Speaker 2: this time there was nothing, no strength, no presence. For
- 53:31Speaker 2: a moment, Samson stood still, confused. He tried again. He
- 53:38Speaker 2: moved his arms. Nothing. He breathed harder, he looked around.
- 53:45Speaker 5: He tried to understand.
- 53:52Speaker 2: Then the Philistines advanced hands, ropes, weight blows. Samson tried
- 54:02Speaker 2: to fight back. He pulled, he pushed, but there was nothing.
- 54:07Speaker 2: For the first time, his body did not respond. He breathed,
- 54:18Speaker 2: he looked, and he saw Delilah, Delilah, Delilah, standing still, silent,
- 54:31Speaker 2: not fleeing, not stopping it, not speaking. Samson kept watching
- 54:40Speaker 2: like a man waiting for something that might still change.
- 54:44Speaker 2: Nothing changed, and for the first time, the man who
- 54:48Speaker 2: could never be captured understood. He did not lose that night.
- 54:55Speaker 2: He lost much earlier, when he began to trust more
- 55:00Speaker 2: in rest than in his calling. The soldiers lifted him
- 55:05Speaker 2: chains and they took him away until they stopped. Night
- 55:12Speaker 2: had fallen, so they threw him in prison. The mockery began.
- 55:22Speaker 15: So this is the great Samson, the lion of Israel.
- 55:28Speaker 15: Where is your God? Now lift his head.
- 55:41Speaker 2: Samson lifted his head. Confused, he felt hands gripping his face.
- 55:46Speaker 2: He tried to move, he could not. The first blow
- 55:51Speaker 2: came pain deep, another, then another, and then darkness. Not
- 56:01Speaker 2: the absence of light, the absence of everything. The man
- 56:07Speaker 2: who saw Timna, the man who saw the lion, the
- 56:12Speaker 2: man who saw armies flee. Now he could see nothing.
- 56:19Speaker 2: The Philistines lifted him and they went on to Gaza.
- 56:25Speaker 2: The entrance of the city was crowded, people watching. Some laughed,
- 56:30Speaker 2: others pointed. No one came close, but everyone stared. The
- 56:35Speaker 2: man who had seemed impossible was now a prisoner. There
- 56:41Speaker 2: was no trial, there was no speech, There was no king,
- 56:46Speaker 2: only imprisonment. They took Samson inside. They placed his hands
- 56:52Speaker 2: on a stone. They ordered him to push, and he pushed.
- 56:58Speaker 2: The mill turned and Samson turned with it. Day after day,
- 57:04Speaker 2: the same path, the same sound, the same weight. Now
- 57:11Speaker 2: there was no morning. There was no night, only darkness.
- 57:17Speaker 2: Days passed, then weeks, then months. People began to visit,
- 57:25Speaker 2: not out of respect, out of curiosity.
- 57:29Speaker 15: Is this him the strong man?
- 57:34Speaker 5: I thought he'd be bigger.
- 57:39Speaker 2: Soldiers mocked, sometimes they shoved him, sometimes they threw scraps.
- 57:45Speaker 2: Samson kept going, step stone, step stone, step stone. But
- 57:55Speaker 2: when everyone left, the memories came. First his mother's voice.
- 58:09Speaker 7: Because you belonged to the.
- 58:10Speaker 2: Lord, then Manoah's voice.
- 58:16Speaker 5: You were not set a part to be greater. You
- 58:23Speaker 5: were set a part to serve.
- 58:26Speaker 2: Then the lion, then the water, then Delilah. One night,
- 58:48Speaker 2: Samson sat, he leaned against the stone. He stayed silent
- 58:52Speaker 2: for a long time. Then he asked, when was it?
- 59:03Speaker 2: When did I start to forget? No answer. He closed
- 59:07Speaker 2: his eyes as if he still could. He breathed. He
- 59:12Speaker 2: tried to remember Temna, his first wife, victories, the people,
- 59:18Speaker 2: the applause, the stories. And then he understood. It had
- 59:24Speaker 2: not been Delilah. It had not been the hair. It
- 59:28Speaker 2: had not been one night. It had been slow, step
- 59:32Speaker 2: after step, choice after choice, silence after silence, and in
- 59:39Speaker 2: that prison, for the first time in many years, Samson stopped.
- 59:46Speaker 2: He stopped fighting, he stopped winning, he stopped running. He
- 59:52Speaker 2: simply stained. Days later, he brought his hand to his head.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: He ran his fingers over it. He felt it short
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: but growing. Then he smiled. He remembered a little boy
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: sitting his mother, smoothing his hair.
- 1:00:19Speaker 7: Some things exist to remind you who you are.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: And that night, Samson spoke softly, without demanding, without negotiating,
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: he just spoke, Lord.
- 1:00:45Speaker 18: I had strength, but I wanted rest. I had been called,
- 1:00:53Speaker 18: but I wanted to be ordinary. I defeated men and
- 1:00:58Speaker 18: lost to myself. If you still hear me, I am here.
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: Days passed outside, the Philistines celebrated. The news spread. They
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: prepared a great feast, music, sacrifices, Rulers arrived, soldiers, families.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: The temple filled thousands.
- 1:01:36Speaker 15: The strong man has fallen.
- 1:01:41Speaker 14: Dagon has delivered our enemy into our hands.
- 1:01:53Speaker 15: Now we will honor Dagon. Bring out Samson.
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: Gates opened, chains, footsteps. Samson entered, guided by a boy's hand.
- 1:02:11Speaker 15: Look at him, where is your straight down?
- 1:02:14Speaker 6: Call you God?
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: But Samson went on without answering. He stopped, he breathed,
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: He felt stone, space weight. He asked the boy.
- 1:02:33Speaker 5: Where are we.
- 1:02:35Speaker 10: At the center the pillars.
- 1:02:39Speaker 5: That hold up the temple? Where are they?
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: Then he guided his hands, stone cold, firm, Samson held
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: on one on each side. He stayed silent. Around him,
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: the feast went on, but for him there was no one,
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: only memories his childhood, the promise, the vow, his mother,
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: his father. And then he spoke, not to the temple,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: to God.
- 1:03:21Speaker 13: Lord, God, remember me, not because I was strong, but
- 1:03:31Speaker 13: because you are faithful.
- 1:03:36Speaker 5: Strengthen me just once more, Let me repay the Philistines.
- 1:03:46Speaker 11: For my eyes.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: He set his feet, a pillar in each hand. He
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: took a deep breath, and he said.
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: Let me die with the Philistines.
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: He grinned. He pushed. At first nothing, then stone, a
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: crack of the pillars gave way, and the entire temple
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: answered like a mountain falling. Everything came down, everything ended,
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: and in that instant, in the moment of his death,
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: Samson brought down more than in all his life. Days later,
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: his family came, They searched, they found him, They carried him.
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: They went up, and they buried him between Zorah and
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: Eshtel in the tomb of Manoah, his father, where it
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: all began. Because some men end as they began, but
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: Samson ended differently. Not stronger, but closer
