Dear Sirs,
I wanted to thank you for your previous help in my discussions with my
opponent regarding Samson. His arguments were so over the top, that I just
didn't know where to begin. I know that this discussion list is not
designed for the purpose of helping people who are debating others. So many
thanks.
My next question is still regarding Samson and it's a personal question.
In my previous email, I asked about Judges 16:1

Unfortunately I don't have an online bible where I can see the Hebrew lined
up with the English. I noticed in the www.blueletterbible.org that it only
lists "bo" and not "eleha".
