Judges 16:7

Samson replied [with a lie]: "If they bind me with seven fresh ropes (tent ropes; ropes made of sinews; Hebr. jeter) that have not yet dried, I will become as weak as a [normal] man." [Tent ropes and bowstrings were often made from the entrails of livestock. Tendons from sheep bones were also used. Compare with Hebr. avot in verse 11.]
