તેઓની ઉજાણીના સાતે દિવસો તેણે રડ્યા કર્યું, સાતમે દિવસે તેણે તેને જવાબ આપ્યો, કેમ કે તેણે તેને ખૂબ દબાણ કર્યું હતું. તેણે પોતાના સંબંધી લોકોને ઉખાણાનો જવાબ કહી દીધો.
हिन्दीन्यायियों १४:१७
भोज के सातों दिनों में वह स्त्री उसके सामने रोती रही; और सातवें दिन जब उसने उसको बहुत तंग किया; तब उसने उसको पहेली का अर्थ बता दिया। तब उसने उसे अपनी जाति के लोगों को बता दिया।

In context

15On the seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Isn’t that so?”

16Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You’ve told a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it to me.” He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told my father or my mother, so why should I tell you?”

17She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

18The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” He said to them, “If you hadn’t plowed with my heifer, you wouldn’t have found out my riddle.”

19The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burned, and he went up to his father’s house.
