Original Word:שִׁמְשׁון
Part of Speech:Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration:Shimshown
Pronunciation:shim-SHONE
Phonetic Spelling:(shim-shone')
Definition:Samson
Meaning:Shimshon

Word Origin:Derived from the Hebrew root שֶׁמֶשׁ (shemesh), meaning "sun."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for Samson in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as his account is primarily contained within the Old Testament. However, he is mentioned in the New Testament in Hebrews 11:32 as Σαμψών (Samson), highlighting his faith.

Usage:The name "Shimshon" is traditionally understood to mean "like the sun" or "sunlight." In the biblical narrative, Samson is a judge of Israel known for his extraordinary physical strength, which he derives from his Nazirite vow to God. His account is primarily a tale of divine empowerment, human weakness, and redemption.

Cultural and Historical Background:Samson lived during the period of the Judges, a time characterized by a cycle of Israelite apostasy, oppression by foreign powers, cries for deliverance, and subsequent deliverance by judges raised up by God. Samson's life reflects the tumultuous relationship between Israel and the Philistines, who were one of the primary oppressors of Israel during this era. As a Nazirite, Samson was set apart for God's service, which included abstaining from wine, avoiding contact with the dead, and not cutting his hair.
