There are several instances of blindness in the Old Testament, some due to natural causes and others due to divine intervention or human actions. Here are a few notable examples:
* Isaac: Isaac became blind in his old age. The cause is not explicitly stated, but it's implied to be a natural decline due to age. (Genesis 27:1)
* Samson: Samson was blinded by the Philistines after Delilah betrayed him and had his hair cut. (Judges 16:21)
* The men of Sodom: In Genesis 19:11, the angels struck the men of Sodom who were trying to break down Lot's door with blindness.
* King of Aram: In 2 Kings 6:18, Elisha prayed that the Aramean army would be struck with blindness, and God answered his prayer.
These are some of the most well-known cases of blindness mentioned in the Old Testament.
