Judges 14:20

14:20 Samson’s bride was then given to his best man.

Genesis 38:14

38:14 So she removed her widow’s clothes and covered herself with a veil. She wrapped herself and sat at the entrance to Enaim which is on the way to Timnah. (She did this because she saw that she had not been given to Shelah as a wife, even though he had now grown up.)


tn Heb “to his companion who had been his attendant.”

tn The Hebrew text simply has “because,” connecting this sentence to what precedes. For stylistic reasons the words “she did this” are supplied in the translation and a new sentence begun.

tn Heb “she saw that Shelah had grown up, but she was not given to him as a wife.”
