4 And Samson went & took .xxx. Foxes, and took firebrands, and turned them tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the middest between two tails. 5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he sent them out ⟨image 230⟩into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the reeks, and the standing corn with the vineyards and olives. 6 Then the Philistines said: who hath done this? And they answered, Samson the son in law of the Thimnite, because he had taken away his wife, and given her to his companion. Then the Philistines came up and burnt her and her father with fire. 7 And Samson said unto them: If ye had done these things: but I will be avenged of you, and then I will cease.

And they aunswered, Samson the sonne in law of the Thimnite, bicause he had taken awaye hys wyfe, and geuen her to hys companyon. Then the Philistians came vp and burnt her and her father wyth fyre. 7 And Samson said vnto them: If ye had done these thinges: but I wyl be auenged of you, and then I wyl cease.
This word Lampades they have translated firebrands, which are easily set on fire. Samson bound the tails of the Foxes two and two together, with a strong knot, and in the middest he bound a firebrand. When the Foxes could not agree together in their course (for the one drew this way, and the other that way, so that they could not hide themselves in their holes, but the flame by stirring and moving was more and more kindled) they ran into the standing come. And at that time was the wheat harvest, and the wheat partly reaped, and partly grew still. Wherefore the Foxes running through the corn, did them very great hurt. For they lost both their straw and their corn, with their vineyards and Olives.
