I'm a little ahead listening to Bible in a Year alongside TBR and man.. Samson is just a rough story... I can't help but think of how sanitized the story was for me when growing up and reading it in my little kid bible stories.. After reading through the Torah, the honey from the lion scene really punched me in the gut! Just such flagrant defiance of purity laws and also the commandments to honor his father and mother.
