NETBible

But his father and mother said to him, “Certainly you can find a wife among your relatives or among all our¹ people! You should not have to go and get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines.”² But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me,³ because she is the right one for me.”⁴

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “my.” The singular may seem strange, since the introduction to the quotation attributes the words to his father and mother. But Samson’s father apparently speaks for both himself and his wife. However, the Lucianic recension of the LXX and the Syriac Peshitta have a second person pronoun here (“you”), and this may represent the original reading.

²tn Heb “Is there not among the daughters of your brothers or among all my people a woman that you have to go to get a wife among the uncircumcised Philistines?”

³tn “Her” is first in the Hebrew word order for emphasis. Samson wanted this Philistine girl, no one else. See C. F. Burney, Judges, 357.

⁴tn Heb “because she is right in my eyes.”
