18 And he was sore a thirst, and called on the Lord, and said: ⟨image 232⟩Thou hast given this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant and now shall I dye for thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised? 19 Then god brake the cheek tooth, that was in the jaw, and water came thereout, and when he had drunk, his sprite came again, and he was revived. Wherefore he called the name thereof Ain Hakorah, which is the fountain of him that calleth upon, which is in Lechi unto this day. 20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
18 And he was sore a thirste, and called on the Lorde, and sayde: ⟨image 232⟩Thou hast geuen this great deliuerance by the hand of thy seruant and nowe shall I dye for thirste, and fall into the handes of the vncircumcised? 19 Then god brake the cheke tooth, that was in the iawe, and water came thereout, and when he had dronke, his sprite came agayn, and he was reuiued. Wherefore he called the name therof Ain Hakorah, which is the fountaine of him that calleth vpon, which is in Lechi vnto this day. 20 And he iudged Israell in the dayes of the Philistians twentye yeares.
Whereas it is written that god opened the cheek tooth which was in the jaw bone, it is in the Hebrew Aschar Belchi Hamachtich, wherefore the place is dark: for this word Machtisch signifieth ether that hollowness wherein the teeth are fixed, or else by a Metaphor it signifieth a stone or rock, wherein is a hole cut,1 like unto the holes of the cheek teeth. And in fine it is that, which commonly we call a mortar. And this latter interpretation Josephus & R. Levi Ben Gerson do follow. And they think, that god brought not forth water out of the jaw bone, but out of a rock being hollow like a jaw bone. But others say that water came forth of that jaw bone, wherewith he had slain his enemies. The place was called the fountain of him that prayeth, because God at the prayers of Samson opened the rock or jaw bone. And this word Aim, Levi expoundeth for an eye, for in very deed it signifieth either, namely both a fountain & an eye. And the sense that be gathereth is, that the eye of the Lord was upon him, which called upon him, that is, God had a regard unto the prayers of him that called upon him. It is added that Samson judged Israel in the days of the Philistines: which is therefore written, because in his time the Hebrews were not yet fully delivered from the tyranny of the Philistines, Samson began to deliver them, but he finished not.
