10Then his fatherH1 wentH3381 toH413 visit the womanH802, and SamsonH8123 preparedH6213 a feastH4960 thereH8033, asH3588H3651 was customaryH6213 for the bridegroomH970. 11And whenH1961 the Philistines saw himH7200,1 they selectedH3947 thirtyH7970 men to accompany himH4828H1961H854.
12“Let me tellH2330H4994 you a riddleH2420,” SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them. “IfH518 you can solveH5046 itH853 for me within the sevenH7651 daysH3117 of the feastH4960, I will giveH5414 you thirtyH7970 linen garmentsH5466 and thirtyH7970 setsH2487 of clothesH899. 13But ifH518 you cannotH3808H3201 solve itH5046, youH859 must giveH5414 me thirtyH7970 linen garmentsH5466 and thirtyH7970 setsH2487 of clothesH899.”
“Tell usH2330 your riddleH2420,” they repliedH559. “Let us hear itH8085.”
For threeH7969 daysH3117 they were unableH3808H3201 to explainH5046 the riddleH2420.
