Exegesis
The temporal phrase bayyom hashvi’i {בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי | bā-y-yôm haš-šĕ-wî-ʿî} ‘on the seventh day’ establishes precise chronology. Some Septuagint manuscripts read “fourth day,” but the Hebrew Masoretic Text reads “seventh day,” and this translation follows that reading.
In context — Judges 14:15
And it came to pass on the seventh day that they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, and let him tell us the riddle , lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Is it not that you have called us here to impoverish us?”
