Samson lets three hundred foxes with torches go into the standing grain of the Philistines
삼손이 여우 삼백의 꼬리 사이에 홰를 달아 블레셋 사람의 곡식을 사름
Judges 15:4–6: Samson goes and catches three hundred foxes, and takes torches, and turns tail to tail, and puts a torch in the middle between every two tails. When he has set the torches on fire, he lets them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burns up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves. Then the Philistines say, “Who has done this?” They say, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” The Philistines come up, and burn her and her father with fire.
