Judges14:9
9 And he took thereof in his hands , and went on eating, and came to his father and mother , and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
Out of the Lions Carcase. Quest. Did not Sampson transgress in touching a Carcase? Answ. It was in it self a legal Pollution: but some such Pollutions were involuntary and unavoidable, as in one that hath an issue running in his sleep; and some were necessary duties, as in those who were to attend upon a Woman in her Month, or upon the burial of a Dead Body. And such was this Pollution, being contracted by Divine Instinct and direction, and in order to Gods honour, and therefore dispensed with by the Author of that Law, and required by him for his service.
From whom he had turned aside for a season, v. 8. upon some pretence or other.
