George Leo Haydock, on Judg 14:5

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Judg 14:5 · Douay-Rheims
“Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Thamnatha. And when they were come to the vineyards of the town, behold a young lion met him raging and roaring.”
On this verse:
“Young lion, not quite so strong as an old one, but in its vigour. (Rabbins) (Calmet) — Met him. Hebrew, “roared against him.” (Haydock) — His parents were at some distance. (Menochius) — St. Augustine (in Psalm lxxxviii.) shews the application of this history to Christ’s establishing and adorning the church of the Gentiles with sweet and wholesome laws. (Du Hamel)”
