Exegesis
The second sequence uses vayigdal {וַיִּגְדַּ֣ל | way-yig-daḷ} ‘and he grew’, where hanaar {הַנַּ֔עַר | han-na-ʿar} ‘the youth’ specifies Samson, and vayevarkhehu {וַֽיְבָרְכֵ֖הוּ | way-yə-ḇār-kē-hū} ‘and he blessed him’ presents YHWH {יְהוָֽה | yĕ-hō-wāh} as subject in Piel to underscore divine bestowal of favor. The chain of vav-consecutives links birth, naming, growth, and blessing in a compact narrative unit.
