Verse 30 Read Chapter 16

Ephrem The Syrian

AD 373

Satan the tyrant outwitted Samson with a woman, the same tyrant outwitted Adam with a woman Samson had to grind at the mill, Adam had to labor wearily on the soil; Samson prayed to be released, whereas we pray to grow old in our misery. Blessed is he who delivered Samson, releasing him from the grinding. Samson is a type of the death of Christ the high priest Samson’s death returns prisoners to their towns, whereas the High Priest’s death has returned us to our heritage. - "Hymns on Paradise 13.12–13"
