THE OUTRAGE AT GIBEAH AND THE WAR AGAINST BENJAMIN.
(JuDG. xvii. 1-xxi. 25.) NOTES.
Judg. 19^ " a morsel of bread.'" — Cf. Gen. 18*"^. A morsel of bread with Abraham meant three measures of fine meal, a calf tender and good, with butter and milk.
Judg. 19' " the man rose vp to depart." — Despite the dangers of night travelling it is often indulged in in the East to avoid the heat of the day.
RUTH.
(Ruth L 1-iv. 22.) City Gates.
In addition to the part they played as defensive elements, the gate
...s and gateways of Eastern walled cities had, and still have, an important place as centres of the communal life of the town. The gate itself consisted of two-leaved, massive, wooden doors, made of beams 6 inches thick in some cases, on which thin iron or bronze plates were riveted. The leaves of the gate were secured by bolts and also by bars of wood, bronze, or iron, passing into sockets in the posts of the gate. Samson delivered himself from the ambush laid by the Philistines "in the gate of the city" by tearing away the two leaves of the door, the gateposts and the fastening bar, and bearing them on his shoulders to the top of a hill that is before Hebron.
