“the stacked grain and the standing grain.” This was the time of the wheat harvest (Judg. 15:1), so the grain was partially harvested. Some grain was already in stacks waiting to be threshed, and there was still standing grain in the fields that had not been cut yet. Vineyards and olive trees take a very long time to develop, and so the damage Samson did by his jackal antic was both extensive and devastating to the local economy around Timnath.
