1. And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying:
2. I thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her.
3. And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.
4. And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails.
