Paul's Handkerchief is Bible study with a difference — going word-by-word through Scripture to reclaim the Ancient Near East context, romance, and mystery that modern translations often leave behind.

Only about 3% of people around the world who start the Bible ever finish it. The 3% Club is for those ready to break that cycle — reading the entire Bible at their own pace, backed by community and tools built to make finishing not just possible, but inevitable. You also get a certificate to celebrate your achievement.

Bible Cafe isn't just Bible study — it's a personal, intimate conversation with Him. Think less classroom, more kitchen table. It combines the original Coffee with Jesus experience with activities like quizzes, crosswords, journaling and more, all designed to let the Word shape your heart, not just your head.

Most English Bibles can't carry the full weight of what's in the original Hebrew and Greek. The F.O.G Bible Project exists to change that — three new translations built publicly (a Study Bible, a Reader's Bible, and F.O.G Jr. for younger readers), plus a word-by-word renewal of Strong's Concordance restoring the depths most translations leave behind. It is Jean Paul's lifelong work, unfolding in public — and you're invited in.

Jean Paul Joseph is the lead editor of the F.O.G Bible Project. He works from a personal encounter with Jesus first, then draws on the scholarship of respected Jewish and Christian scholars — because the church was Jewish before it was anything else, and those roots change everything about how you read Scripture.

Judges

Judges 15:1

Translations

F.O.G.MPrimary

F.O.G Message

Some time later, at the wheat harvest, Samson went to visit his wife, bringing a young goat as a gift, and said, "I want to go into my wife's room." But her father wouldn't let him in.

F.O.GSecondary

The F.O.G

After a time, in the days of the wheat harvest, Shimshon went to visit his wife, bringing a young goat, and said, "Let me go in to my wife in the inner room." But her father would not let him enter.

KJV

King James Version

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.

BSB

Berean Standard Bible

Later on, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. “I want to go to my wife in her room,” he said. But her father would not let him enter.

Footnotes

The young goat (Heb. *gĕdî 'izzîm*) was a conventional reconciliation gift in the ancient Near East, signalling Samson's attempt to restore the marriage after his stormy departure in ch. 14. The *cheder* ("inner room") is the bridal chamber, indicating this is a resumption of marital relations, not a casual visit. The timing — wheat harvest — will become darkly ironic when Samson destroys the very harvest. FOG retains "inner room" for its domestic specificity; FOG Message uses the more natural English phrasing.
