Saga o Samsonie jest oryginalną częścią Biblii Hebrajskiej, w której licznie występują niedopowiedzenia, zagadki i stwierdzenia nie do końca zgodne z prawdą. Kolejni bohaterowie zakrywają przed sobą istotne wiadomości, a główny bohater igra ze swoimi przeciwnikami opowiadając im zagadki. Celem przedkładanego artykułu jest wyszczególnić kolejne elementy, które składają się na narrację o Samsonie i stanowią o enigmatyczności całego opowiadania. Analiza wybranych elementów ma uzmysłowić Czytelnikowi, że tajemniczość sagi o Samsonie nie zależy tylko od zagadek konstruowanych przez głównego bohatera, ale także od relacji pomiędzy jego rodzicami i aniołem Pańskim.
