13:25 a1c2 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-endofstory And the Spirit of Yahweh began to agitate him 1 Here and in the last sentence of the previous verse, the author is saying what happened at the end of the story of Samson’s birth. He leads into the stories of Samson’s young adulthood in the following chapters by saying that “the boy grew” and “Yahweh blessed him” and noting that the **Spirit of Yahweh** began to **agitate** him, that is, to make him dissatisfied with living under Philistine occupation. Your language may have its own way of bringing one part of a story to a close and introducing the next part.

14:intro cl2d 0 # Judges 14 General Notes\n\n## Structure and Formatting\n\nThe account of Samson continues in this chapter.\n\nSome translations set each line of poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to make it easier to read. The ULT does this with the poetry in 14:14, 18.\n\n### Special concepts in this chapter\n\n### Intermarriage\n\nIt was considered sinful for an Israel to marry a Canaanite or anyone from a different people group. This is why Samson’s parents did not want him to marry a Philistine woman. They use rhetorical questions to convince him that he is sinning. This woman caused Samson many problems. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]] and [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

14:15 w7x9 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit on the seventh day 1 The author assumes that his readers will know that by **on the seventh day** he means the last day of the feast, when the Philistine young men would have to give Samson many expensive garments if they could not solve the riddle. You could say that explicitly if it would be helpful to your readers.

15:intro dn16 0 # Judges 15 General Notes\n\n## Structure and Formatting\n\nThe account of Samson continues in this chapter.\n\nSome translations set each line of poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to make it easier to read. The ULT does this with the poetry in 15:16.\n\n## Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Chapter\n\n### Samson’s strength\n\nThe Spirit of Yahweh rushed upon Samson. This meant God gave Samson extraordinary strength. Samson’s power is the power of Yahweh himself and he enacted the judgment of God on the Philistines.
