Judges 15:1-4 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Then, after some time, when the days of the wheat harvest were near, Samson arrived, intending to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid from the goats. And when he wanted to enter her bedroom, as usual, her father prohibited him, saying:

2. "I thought that you would hate her, and therefore I gave her to your friend. But she has a sister, who is younger and more beautiful than she is. And she may be a wife for you, instead of her."

3. And Samson answered him: "From this day, there shall be no guilt for me against the Philistines. For I will do harm to you all."

4. And he went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he joined them tail to tail. And he tied torches between the tails.
