Judges 15:1-4 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. After a while, during the wheat harvest, Samson went to visit his wife, taking a young goat. He said, “I’m going in to my wife in her bedroom,” but her father would not let him go in.

2. Her father said, “I thought that you thoroughly hated her, so I gave her to your best man. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please, let her be your wife instead.”

3. Samson said to them, “This time I cannot be blamed by the Philistines when I do them harm.”

4. Samson went and caught three hundred foxes. He took torches and turned the foxes tail to tail and put a torch between each pair of tails.
