Delilah binds Samson with seven green cords
들릴라가 푸른 칡 일곱으로 삼손을 결박함
Judges 16:6–9: Delilah says to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and what you might be bound to afflict you.” Samson says to her, “If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.” Then the lords of the Philistines bring up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she binds him with them. Now she has an ambush waiting in the inner room. She says to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He breaks the cords as a flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength is not known.
