In this episode, we explore the early life and exploits of Samson, the Nazarite dedicated to God from birth. We discuss his miraculous birth to a barren woman and his vow as a Nazarite, which included abstaining from alcohol, avoiding contact with dead bodies, and not cutting his hair. Despite these vows, Samson's actions were often driven by personal desires rather than divine commandments. From pursuing a Philistine woman for marriage to posing a riddle at his wedding feast, Samson's life was marked by impulsive decisions and defiance. Yet, God used even his flaws to begin delivering Israel from the Philistines.
