NASB
"Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords that had not been dried, and she bound him with them."
— Judges 16:8, NASB
“Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.”
“Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. ”
“Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.”
“So the rulers of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings which had not been dried and she tied him up with them.”
“And the princes of the Philistines brought unto her seven cords, such as he spoke of, with which she bound him;”
“So the chiefs of the Philistines gave her seven new bow-cords which had never been made dry, and she had them tightly knotted round him.”
“Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.”
The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, "Entice him, and see where his great strength lies and how we may overpower him that we may bind him to afflict him. Then we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."
So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength is and how you may be bound to afflict you."
Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man."
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords that had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Now she had men lying in wait in an inner room. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the cords as a string of tow snaps when it touches fire. So his strength was not discovered.
Then Delilah said to Samson, "Behold, you have deceived me and told me lies; now please tell me how you may be bound."
He said to her, "If they bind me tightly with new ropes which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man."
