Jueces 15:17 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 15:17

And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking
Of delivering out the above song, which very probably consisted of much more than what is here expressed:

that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand;
which he held in his hand had wrought by him through the means of it, and so served to animate him to praise and thankfulness; but having no further use for it, he threw it away:

and called the place Ramathlehi;
that is, the casting away the jawbone, so Kimchi; but Ben Gersom thinks it was an high place where it was thrown, and so signifies the elevation or lifting up of the "jawbone", as the Septuagint version renders it.

17 Y al terminar de hablar, arroj贸 la quijada de su mano, y llam贸 a aquel lugar Ramat-lehi .

19 Y abri贸 Dios la cuenca que est谩 en Lehi y sali贸 agua de ella. Cuando bebi贸, recobr贸 sus fuerzas y se reanim贸. Por eso llam贸 a aquel lugar En-hacore , el cual est谩 en Lehi hasta el d铆a de hoy.
