A. THE STORY OF THE FOXES

But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that

Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, "I will go in to my

wife into the chamber."

But her father would not suffer him to go in. And her father said, "I

verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her

to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I

pray thee, instead of her."

And Samson said unto them, "This time shall I be blameless in regard to

the Philistines, when I do them a mischief."

And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and

turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between every two

tails. And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the

standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the

standing grain, and also the oliveyards.
