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.

Jueces 15:17 In-Context

15 Al encontrar una quijada de burro que todav铆a estaba fresca, la agarr贸 y con ella mat贸 a mil hombres.
16 Entonces dijo Sans贸n:芦Con la quijada de un asnolos he amontonado.Con una quijada de asnohe matado a mil hombres禄.
17 Cuando termin贸 de hablar, arroj贸 la quijada y llam贸 a aquel lugar Ramat Lej铆.
18 Como ten铆a mucha sed, clam贸 al SE脩OR: 芦T煤 le has dado a tu siervo esta gran victoria. 驴Acaso voy ahora a morir de sed, y a caer en manos de los incircuncisos?禄
19 Entonces Dios abri贸 la hondonada que hay en Lej铆, y de all铆 brot贸 agua. Cuando Sans贸n la bebi贸, recobr贸 sus fuerzas y se reanim贸. Por eso al manantial que todav铆a hoy est谩 en Lej铆 se le llam贸 Enacor茅.
