SAMSON AND THE LION, 2009/5769 14th in the BIBLICAL ART Coin Series. Legal Tender issued by the Bank of Israel. Samson was a Nazarite, an ascetic, who abstained from worldly pleasures, including drinking alcohol and even cutting his hair. When Samson was on his way to meet the Philistine girl he wanted to wed, he encountered an attacking lion. The Lord gave him super human strength to fight and destroy it. Later, when on his way to his wedding, he observed bees producing honey in the carcass of the lion - an unexpected lesson in the vagaries of life and in the possibility of making something sweet from something quite the opposite.
