“But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.”
Samson returns to his wife after wheat harvest—a marital gesture masked by restlessness. The phrase "after some time" marks temporal break signaling instability. His "going in to his wife" echoes covenant language, yet passion controls him. The wheat harvest roots this in agricultural rhythms, making subsequent destruction an inversion of provision. His cyclical returns prefigure ultimate captivity and dependence on others.
