Dict: easton - Riddle

easton:

Riddle @ (Heb. hodah). The oldest and, strictly speaking, the only example of a riddle was that propounded by Samson kjv@Judges:14:12-18). The parabolic prophecy in kjv@Ezekiel:17:2-18 is there called a "riddle." It was rather, however, an allegory. The word "darkly" in kjv@1Corinthians:13:12 is the rendering of the Greek enigma; marg., "in a riddle."
