有人告訴迦薩人說：«參孫到這裡來了。»他們就四面包圍，整夜在城門埋伏等候他；整夜都靜默不作聲，說：«等到天亮，我們就殺死他。»
English Explanation of Mishnah Sotah
Samson went after [the desire of] his eyes; therefore the Philistines put out his eyes, as it is said, “And the Philistines laid hold of him, and put out his eyes” (Judges 16:2. In Judges 14:3 Samson tells his father concerning the Philistine woman in Timnah, “Get that one for me, for she is fitting in my eyes.” From here we can see that he sinned by following the lusts of his eyes. Therefore, his eyes were put out by the Philistines. Interestingly, this is literally a case of “an eye for an eye.” While the rabbis believed that the actual “eye for an eye” law was not meant to be taken literally, the aggadic idea that one who sins with his eyes will be punished there as well, is an accepted idea.
