Shofetim 14:9-13 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his av and em, and he gave them, and they did eat; but he told not them that he had taken the devash out of the geviyah of the lion.

10. So his av went down unto the isha; and Shimshon made there a mishteh; for so used the bocherim to do.

11. And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought shloshim companions to be with him.

12. And Shimshon said unto them, I will now put forth a khidah (riddle) unto you; if ye can certainly declare it to me within the shivat yemei hamishteh, and find it out, then I will give you shloshim linen garments and shloshim sets of begadim;

13. But if ye cannot declare it to me, then shall ye give me shloshim linen garments and shloshim begadim. And they said unto him, Put forth thy khidah, that we may hear it.
