Y al cuarto día dijeron a la mujer de Sansón: Induce a tu marido a que nos declare el enigma, o te quemaremos a fuego a ti y a la casa de tu padre. Nos habéis invitado para empobrecernos. ¿No es así?
Y al séptimo día dijeron á la mujer de Samsón: Induce á tu marido á que nos declare este enigma, porque no te quememos á ti y á la casa de tu padre. ¿Habéisnos llamado aquí para poseernos?
Y aconteció que en el séptimo día, dijeron a la esposa de Sansón: Induce a tu marido a que nos declare este enigma, para que no te quememos a ti y a la casa de tu padre. ¿Nos habéis llamado aquí para despojarnos? ¿No es así?
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
on the seventh day: The LXX reads "on the fourth day;" with which the Syriac and Arabic agree. This, as Dr. Wall observes, is certainly right; for it appears from Judges 14:17, that she wept the remainder of the seven days; for which there could have been no time, if they did not threaten her till the seventh.
Entice: Judges 16:5, Genesis 3:1-6, Proverbs 1:11, Proverbs 5:3, Proverbs 6:26, Micah 7:5
lest we burn: Judges 12:1, Judges 15:6
take that we have: Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us
Reciprocal: Judges 15:3 - though Esther 4:14 - but thou Ecclesiastes 10:13 - beginning 1 Corinthians 2:4 - not
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass on the seventh day,.... Not on the seventh day of the feast, for some time before that they applied to his wife, and she pressed him hard to disclose it; but on the sabbath day, as Kimchi, and so Jarchi says, on the seventh day of the week, not on the seventh day of the feast, for it was the seventh day of the feast; this is so clear, that the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, instead of the seventh, read the fourth day:
that they said unto Samson's wife, entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle; that is, persuade him to tell the meaning of it to her, that she might declare it to them:
lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire; in which she now was, not as yet being taken home to her husband, and her in it; this they said to terrify her, and make her importunate with Samson to explain the riddle to her, if he had any value for her, and her life:
have ye called us to take that we have? invited them to the wedding feast, to strip them of their clothes, and even take their very shirts off of their backs, which they must have been obliged to part with, if they could not explain the riddle, or send for other suits and shirts from their own houses: "is it not so?" verily this is the case, nor can it be understood otherwise than a contrived business between thee and thy husband, to get our raiment, woollen and linen, from us.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Three days ... on the seventh day - Proposed alterations, such as “six days ... on the fourth day,†are unnecessary if it be remembered that the narrator passes on first to the seventh day (at Judges 14:15), and then goes back at Judges 14:16 and beginning of Judges 14:17 to what happened on the 4th, 5th, and 6th days.
To take that we have - See the margin. They affirm that they were only invited to the wedding for the sake of plundering them by means of this riddle, and if Samson’s wife was a party to plundering her own countrymen, she should suffer for it.
