OET (OET-RV)Then on the seventh day,[fn] they pressured Shimshon’s wife, “Get your husband to tell you the answer of the riddle, otherwise we’ll burn down your father’ house and you as well. Did you invite us to the party just to impoverish us?”


14:15 The Greek Septuagint translation says ‘the fourth day’, which perhaps might fit better into the narrative, but ‘seventh’ is in the Hebrew that we have and not necessarily incorrect.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in_the=day the=seventh and=they_said to,wife Shimshōn's entice DOM your(fs)=man/husband and,tell to/for=us DOM the,riddle lest burn DOM,you and=DOM house_of father's,your in/on/at/with,fire the,to,rob,us invited to/for=us ?,not )

They would become poor if they had to buy him new clothes if they could not solve the riddle. Alternate translation: “to make us poor by forcing us to buy him new clothes”
