聖經經文

意思

來源及應用

在舊約時代，有個叫做參孫的大力士，他的頭發給了他如公牛般力氣，但沒人知道這個氣力的真正來源。直到有一天，他的愛人黛利拉背叛他，把這個秘密告訴了娘家，同時也是參孫的敵人非利士人。于是，非利士人等到參孫熟睡時剃去他的七綹頭發，使得他毫無力氣，并剜了他的雙眼，用銅鏈銬住她的手腳，把他送進牢中。這時，參孫的頭發慢慢地長出來了，他也恢復了力氣。為了報復和雪恥，他摧毀了非利士人的宴會廳，與他的敵人同歸于盡。參孫的力大無窮在歷史上留下了印記。“參孫的柱”（Samson post）意為“起重柱”，即支撐著甲板上的梁柱或運送導向塊的堅固柱子。“參孫的頭發”（Samson’s hair）則成為一些織發中心的品牌名稱。如果你說某某是參孫，你是在夸他力量非凡。
