Verse 6 is found in chapter 16 of Judges. Samson loves Delilah, and the Philistine rulers offer her money to discover the source of his strength. Delilah repeatedly pressures him, and Samson gives false answers. The narrative shows the judge’s vulnerability to emotional manipulation. Samson’s strength is not merely a secret physical ability; it is connected to his consecration and the symbol of his hair, although he continues trying to conceal the truth.

Und Delila sprach zu Simson: Sage mir doch, worin deine große Kraft sei und womit man dich binden möge, daß man dich zwinge?
Y Dalila dijo a Samsón: Yo te ruego que me declares en qué consiste tu grande fuerza, y cómo podrás ser atado para ser atormentado.
Delila dit à Samson: Dis-moi, je te prie, d'où vient ta grande force, et avec quoi il faudrait te lier pour te dompter.
Delila adunque disse a Sansone: Deh! dichiarami in che consiste la tua gran forza, e come tu potresti esser legato, per esser domato.
Disse, pois, Dalila a Sansão: Declara-me, peço-te, em que consiste a tua grande força, e com que poderias ser amarrado para te poderem afligir.
