Jdg 14:15 — And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? [is it] not [so]?

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

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 Jdg 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		Jdg 16:5; Gen 3:1-6; Pro 1:11; Pro 5:3; Pro 6:26; Mic 7:5
lest we burn		Jdg 12:1; Jdg 15:6
take that we have		Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us.
