06 : 31 And Joash <03101  +Yow>ash > said <00559  +>amar > unto

06 : 36 And Gideon <01439  +Gid<own > said <00559  +>amar > unto

07 : 04 And the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > said <00559  +>amar >

07 : 05 So he brought <03381  +yarad > down <03381  +yarad > the

07 : 09 .  And it came <01961  +hayah > to pass the same <01931

11 : 18 Then they went <03212  +yalak > along through the

11 : 19 And Israel <03478  +Yisra>el > sent <07971  +shalach >

11 : 28 Howbeit the king <04428  +melek > of the children <01121

13 : 19 So Manoah <04495  +Manowach > took <03947  +laqach > a

kid with a meat offering <04503  +minchah > ,  and offered

<05927  +<alah >  [ it ]  upon a rock <06697  +tsuwr > unto the

13 : 20 For it came <01961  +hayah > to pass ,  when the flame

13 : 25 And the Spirit <07307  +ruwach > of the LORD <03068

14 : 01 .  And Samson <08123  +Shimshown > went <03381  +yarad >

14 : 03 Then his father <1> and his mother <00517  +>em > said

<00559  +>amar > unto him ,   [ Is there ]  never <00369  +>ayin

14 : 04 But his father <1> and his mother <00517  +>em > knew

<03045  +yada< > not that it  [ was ]  of the LORD <03068

14 : 05 Then went <03381  +yarad > Samson <08123  +Shimshown >

down <03381  +yarad > ,  and his father <1> and his mother

14 : 06 And the Spirit <07307  +ruwach > of the LORD <03068

14 : 07 And he went <03381  +yarad > down <03381  +yarad > ,  

and talked <01696  +dabar > with the woman <00802  +>ishshah > ;

 and she pleased Samson <08123  +Shimshown > well .

14 : 08 And after a time <03117  +yowm > he returned <07725

14 : 10 .  So his father <1> went <03381  +yarad > down <03381

14 : 15 And it came <01961  +hayah > to pass on the seventh

14 : 17 And she wept <01058  +bakah > before <05921  +<al > him

15 : 02 And her father <1> said <00559  +>amar > ,  I verily

15 : 04 And Samson <08123  +Shimshown > went <03212  +yalak >

15 : 05 And when he had set the brands <03940  +lappiyd > on

fire <00784  +>esh > ,  he let  [ them ]  go <07971  +shalach >

into the standing <07054  +qamah > corn <07054  +qamah > of the
