Question

Hello, In the Book of Judges, Chapter 15, Verse 19, was the miracle performed for Samson water that came out of the jawbone of the donkey? In other words, did the bone turn into a spring?

Answer

Hello

There are different opinions among the commentators. According to Rashi, the bone split and water came out of it. However, Radak, Ralbag, and others explain that a rock split in a place called Lehi, and water came out of it.
