⁴ So Samson went out, caught 300 foxes, grabbed some torches,^[a] tied^[b] the foxes together in pairs at their tails,^[c] and fastened a torch^[d] between each pair of tails. ⁵ Then he ignited the torches, set the foxes loose into the Philistines’ unharvested grain, and burned up both the harvested shocks and the standing grain, along with their vineyards and olive groves.

⁶ Then the Philistines demanded, “Who did this?”

Someone said, “Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because his father-in-law^[e] took Samson’s^[f] wife and gave her to the best man at Samson’s wedding.”^[g] In retaliation, the Philistines came up and burned her and her father to death.
