Judges 16:21 says:
Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes and took him down to Gaza. Binding him with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain in the prison.
At the museum in Tel Aviv, we saw a grinder that may have been similar to the one Samson used in prison. Here is a picture of one of our instructors, Gary, playing the part of Samson. Note Gary's long hair -- he is perfect for playing the part of a life-long Nazirite (See Numbers 6:1-21).

Hi Peter,
Wow! You are on your way to become a specialist in the life and times of Samson. These are great photos from recent days. I think it was good to rent a car and do your own touring.
So you'll be coming back to Beth-el this week. I'm sure Cami and the kids will be quite Joyful. It will be good to see you again!
Shalom,
Bob
Thanks, Bob! I am looking forward to seeing Cami and the kids. This has been a great trip, but I miss them terribly.
I look forward to seeing you! I'll plan to come see you next week.
Peter
