וַיֹּאחֲז֣וּהוּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וַֽיְנַקְּר֖וּ אֶת־עֵינָ֑יו וַיּוֹרִ֨ידוּ אוֹת֜וֹ עַזָּ֗תָה וַיַּאַסְר֙וּהוּ֙ בַּֽנְחֻשְׁתַּ֔יִם וַיְהִ֥י טוֹחֵ֖ן בְּבֵ֥ית האסירים [הָאֲסוּרִֽים׃]
E os pelishtim o capturaram, e furaram os seus olhos, e o fizeram descer para Azza, e o prenderam com grilhões de bronze; e ele estava moendo na casa (dos prisioneiros) [dos presos].

Sotah
The Rabbis taught in a Baraisa: שמשון rebelled with his eyes, as it says, "שמשון told his father, 'Take her for me, for she is fitting in my eyes." Therefore, the פלשתים poked out his eyes. As it says, "The פלשתים seized him and poked out his eyes."
Sotah
We learned in a Bariasa; רבי said, "The beginning of his downfall was in Gaza, he was therefore hit in Gaza. 'The beginning of his downfall was in Gaza', for it was written 'שמשון went to Gaza and he saw a Harlot there etc.' 'He was, therefore, hit in Gaza,' for it is written 'They brought him down to Gaza."
