Samson is refused

1And after some days, in the days of the wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat. He said, “Let me go in to my wife, into the inner room.” But her father would not allow him to go in.

2And her father said, “I really thought that you utterly hated her, so I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please let her be yours instead of her.”

3And Samson said to them, “This time I am blameless with respect to the Philistines when I do them harm.”
