12 So Deli'lah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, |The Philistines are upon you, Samson!| And the men lying in wait were in an inner chamber. But he snapped the ropes off his arms like a thread.

13 And Deli'lah said to Samson, |Until now you have mocked me, and told me lies; tell me how you might be bound.| And he said to her, |If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web and make it tight with the pin, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man.|
