Samson
The figure of the judge Samson is ultimately a solar hero. For various reasons:
The name Samson (Hebrew, šimšôn) means 'sunny' (from Hebrew šemeš). (Although šimšay occurs in Arammic in Oza 5 (Ezra) 4.8,9,17,23).
Samson's birthplace at Zorah is only 2.5 miles form Beth-Shemesh, a name
indicating the presence of a sun temple and cult, and various other
place in the Samson story – Eshtaol, Timnah and the valley of Sorek –are
all within a six-mile radius of Beth-Shemesh.
Psalm 19 clearly reflects sun mythology. The sun is explicitly mentioned
and personified in vv. 5c-6 (ET 4c-5): 'In them he has set a tent for
the sun, which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and
like a strong man runs its course with joy'. This corresponds very well
with the picture of Samson. If anyone is a frolicking strong man
(gibbôr) in the Old Testament, it is Samson, a motif which pervades the
stories about him.
Samson's strength is embodied in his seven locks of hair, which he loses
because of Delilah. The sound of the name Delilah (delîlâ) is
suggestive of the word for 'night' (Hebrew, laylâ), and the sun's rays
are often depicted as hair. One might note that Helios is depicted with
seven rays coming from his head (e.g. in the synagogue mosaics at
Hammath Tiberias, Beth Alpha, etc.)
Although the view that a solar hero lies behind the figure of Samson was
more commonly held in the past, the attribution of solar features to
Samson is still found in more recent scholars of the book of Judges,
such as J.D. Martin, J.A. Soggin and B. (F.C.) Lindars). All points
considered, the case is clear for Samson as a solar hero and this latter
aspect has been generalized with Israelite features, such as Samson's
being a judge and a Nazirite.
If this is a correct understanding, there is evidence that the Canaanite
sun deity could at times be masculine, in contrast to the Canaanite sun
goddess, Shapash, at Ugarit, and in the El-Amarna letters, where the
deity Shamash is feminine (letter 323, line 22).15 The sun's being a
masculine deity is in keeping with the fact that the Hebrew word šemeš
is attested both as masculine and feminine and the masculine form is
actually the more frequent. (One may compare Akkadian and Arabic where
the gender of the noun for 'sun' is the same as that of the deity.)

RUT (Ruth): Fresh Bread, Giver of Honey
Obr 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to ALEIM, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Obr 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Obr 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Obr 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of ALEIM, as was Aaron.
Obr 5:5 So also IEUESHUO glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Obr 5:6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Obr 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Obr 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Obr 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Y-d
Obr 5:10 Called of ALEIM an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Obr 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
Obr 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of Y-d; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Obr 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Obr 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Prophesy: Edify; To Correct

Should women keep silence?
1 Corth 14:27-39
Paul might have been saying that since children talk so much, that the elder women should make them
hold their tongue while in the congregation during an assembly, because
they would be causing a distraction while the study was being taught;
the elder women may instruct the younger women: Act 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Naomi and RUT; Rut 2:22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
Don't let anyone take your SHaLUM (Peace) away from you!
IEUEHSUO prophesied to the Women of Samaria at the well who then also witnessed!
Then in the OT there was Rahab and Gomer that saved; and in the NT,
IEUESHUO gave mercy in Icn 8 when the woman was to be stoned for adultery
(everyone)... Ira 9:1-2
Martha and Mariam...
IEUESHUO weep (Hb."shua": cried out) when Lazarus died.
Of course, There was Elizabeth, Mariam Lk 1:45 and Anna was a prophetess Lk 2:36, 41
"Come Out of Babylon."
