Exegesis
Finally velo noda’ {וְלֹ֥א נוֹדַ֖ע | wə-lō nō-ḏāʿ} ‘and was not known’ with kocho {כֹּחֽוֹ | kō-ḥô} ‘his strength’ underscores that his power remained undisclosed.
In context — Judges 16:9
Now men lying in wait were staying for her in the chamber, and she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he snapped the cords as a thread of tow snaps when it comes near fire, and his strength was not known.
