And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 16 of Judges. Samson asks the young man guiding him to place his hands on the central pillars and prays for God to give him strength one last time. He brings down the temple and dies along with many Philistines. The final statement says that he killed more at his death than during his life. The episode concludes his story by showing simultaneously judgment against the oppressors, the final recovery of his mission, and the enormous personal cost of a life marked by destructive choices.

Und er faßte die zwei Mittelsäulen, auf welche das Haus gesetzt war und darauf es sich hielt, eine in seine rechte und die andere in seine linke Hand,
Asió luego Samsón las dos columnas del medio sobre las cuales se sustentaba la casa, y estribó en ellas, la una con la mano derecha, y la otra con la izquierda;
Sansón agarró las dos columnas centrales que sostenían el edificio y se apoyó contra ellas, con la mano derecha sobre una y la izquierda sobre la otra.
Et Samson embrassa les deux colonnes du milieu sur lesquelles reposait la maison, et il s'appuya contre elles; l'une était à sa droite, et l'autre à sa gauche.
Poi, abbracciate le due colonne di mezzo, sopra le quali la casa era posta, pontò, attenendosi ad esse, avendo l’una alla man destra, e l’altra alla sinistra.
Abraçou-se, pois, Sansão com as duas colunas do meio, em que se sustinha a casa, e arrimou-se sobre elas, com a sua mão direita numa, e com a sua esquerda na outra.
