Exegesis
The Hiphil imperative hanichah {הַנִּ֣יחָה | han-nî-ḥâ} ‘let me rest’ followed by the Hiphil imperfect vahamisheni {וַהֲמִשֵׁ֙נִי֙ | va-ham-mī-šē-nî} ‘and let me lean’ sequences Samson’s requests for placement.
In context — Judges 16:26
And Samson said to the youth who was holding him by the hand, “Let me feel the pillars on which the house stands, that I may lean on them.”
