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.
Whereas it is written that god opened the cheeke tooth whiche was in the iaw bone, it is in the Hebrewe Aschar Belchi Hamachtich, wherefore the place is darke: for this woorde Machtisch signifieth ether that holownes wherein the teth are fixed, or els by a Metaphore it signifieth a stone or rocke, wherein is a hole cut,1 like vnto the holes of the cheke tethe. And in fine it is that, which commonly we call a morter. And this latter interpretation Iosephus & R. Leui Ben Gerson do follow. And they thinke, that god brought not forth water out of the iaw bone, but out of a rocke being holow like a iaw bone. But others say that water came forthe of that iaw bone, wherewith he had slayne his enemies. The place was called the fountayne of him that prayeth, bicause God at the prayers of Samson opened the rocke or iawe bone. And this woorde Aim, Leui expoundeth for an eye, for in very deede it signifieth eyther, namelye bothe a fountaine & an eye. And the sense that be gathereth is, that the eye of the Lorde was vpon him, which called vpon him, that is, God had a regarde vnto the prayers of hym that called vpon him. It is added that Samson iudged Israell in the dayes of the Philistianes: whiche is therfore written, bicause in his time the Hebrewes were not yet fully deliuered from the tirranny of the Philistianes, Samson beganne to deliuer them, but he finished not.
