Berkatalah Delila kepada Simson: "Sampai sekarang engkau telah mempermain-mainkan dan membohongi aku. Ceritakanlah kepadaku dengan apakah engkau dapat diikat." Jawabnya kepadanya: "Kalau engkau menenun ketujuh rambut jalinku bersama-sama dengan lungsin lalu mengokohkannya dengan patok, maka aku akan menjadi lemah dan menjadi seperti orang lain manapun juga."
Setelah itu, maka kata Delila kepada Simson: Sampai sekarang engkau mempermainkan daku dan berkata bohong kepadaku; nyatakanlah kiranya kepadaku sekali ini juga dengan apa engkau dapat diikat. Maka sahutnya kepadanya: Jikalau kiranya ketujuh tokong rambut kepalaku kauanyamkan bersama-sama dengan pesa tenun.

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
with the web: It is evident that this verse ends abruptly, and does not contain a full sense. Houbigant has particularly noticed this, and corrected the text from the Septuagint, which adds after these words:
ךבי ודךסןץףחע פש נבףףבכש ויע פןם פןיקןם, ךבי וףןלבי שע ויע פשם בםטסשנשם בףטוםחע ךבי ודוםופן ום פש ךןילבףטבי בץפןם ךבי וכבגו בכיהב פבע ונפב ףויסבע פחע ךוצבכחע בץפןץ, ךבי ץצבםום ום פש היבףלבפי, ך.פ.כ.
"and shall fasten them with the pin in the wall, I shall become weak like other men, and so it was, that when he slept, Dalida took the seven locks of his head, and wove them with the web," etc. This is absolutely necessary to complete the sense; else Delilah would appear to do something she was not ordered to do, and to omit what she was commanded. Dr. Kennicott very judiciously observes, that the omission, for such it appears to be, begins and ends with the same word; and that the same word occurring in different places, is a very common cause of omission in Hebrew manuscripts.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Delilah said unto Samson,.... At another time, when she thought it most proper to upbraid him with his deception of her:
hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies; both the times that she had solicited him to impart the secret of his strength to her:
tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound; tell me the real truth, and deceive me no more:
and he said unto her, if thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web; it seems that Samson's hair was parted into seven locks, which no doubt hung down very long; and now he tells her, that if these were interwoven with the warp which was upon the beam in a loom near by; perhaps in the same room, where Delilah used to weave, as was the custom of those times, and in various nations a; his strength would be weakened; for Braunius b is mistaken in supposing this to be the beam about which the web was rolled, as he is also in the pin next mentioned, which he takes to be the "spatha", or lathe, with which the threads are knocked together.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 16:13. The seven locks of my head — Probably Samson had his long hair plaited into seven divisions, and as his vow of a Nazarite obliged him to wear his hair, so, seven being a number of perfection among the Hebrews, his hair being divided into seven locks might more particularly point out the perfection designed by his Nazarite state.
Every person must see that this verse ends abruptly, and does not contain a full sense. Houbigant has particularly noticed this, and corrected the text from the Septuagint, the reading of which I shall here subjoin:
Εαν ὑφανῃς τας ἑπτα σειρας της κεφαλης μον αυν τῳ διασματι, και εγκρουσῃς τῳ πασσαλῳ εις τον τοιχον, και εσομαι ὡς εἱς των ανθρωπων ασθενης· Και εγενετο εν τῳ κοιμασθαι αυτον, και ελαβε Δαλιδα τας ἑπτα σειρας της κεφαλης αυτου, και ὑφανεν εν τῳ διασματι, και επηξε τῳ πασσαλῳ εις τον τοιχον;
"If thou shalt weave the seven locks of my head with the web, and shalt fasten them with the pin in the wall, I shall become weak like other men: And so it was that, when he slept, Dalida took the seven locks of his head, and wove them with the web, and fastened it with the pin to the wall and said unto him," c.
All the words printed here in italic, are wanting in the present Hebrew copies but are preserved in the Septuagint, and are most obviously necessary to complete the sense; else Delilah appears to do something that she is not ordered to do, and to omit what she was commanded.
