The seventh day before the sun went down. 1All they of the East did measure the end of the day by the going down of the sun, which by this place we may gather, and by many other. They expounded the riddle after this manner: What is sweeter then honey, what is stronger then a Lyon? Ambrose saith that Samson, when he heard these things, straightway added: what is more unfaithful then a woman? This assuredly which is added in the text, is not much unlike: Except ye had ploughed with my Heifer. To plough is to dig, to turn, and to search the earth. So they searched out the maiden, that by her they might come to the counsel of her husband. This undoubtedly is an easy interpretation.2 For that is not sufficient which Levi ben Gerson bringeth, that those young men committed adultery with the maiden, and by that abuse understood the riddle of Samson. For if this thing had happened, Samson would not have retained her in matrimony.
The seauenth day before the sunne went downe. 1All they of the East did measure the ende of the day by the going downe of the sunne, which by thys place we may gather, and by many other. They expounded the ryddle after this maner: VVhat is sweeter then hoony, what is stronger then a Lyon? Ambrose sayth that Samson, when hee heard these thinges, strayghtwaye added: what is more vnfaythfull then a woman? This assuredlye which is added in the text, is not much vnlike: Except ye had plowed wyth my Heyfer. To plowe is to dyg, to turne, and to searche the earth. So they searched out the mayden, that by her they might come to the counsell of her husbande. This vndoubtedlye is an easye interpretacion.2 For that is not sufficient whych Leui ben Gerson bringeth, that those young men committed aduoutry with the mayden, and by that abuse vnderstoode the ryddle of Samson. For if this thing had happened, Samson woulde not haue retayned her in matrimony.
