What is the meaning of "va'Tiska b'Yased"?
Radak (13): She [did like he said in verse 13 1 , and then] inserted a peg, lest the pole (around which the fabric is rolled) roll away.
Why does it not say that Pelishtim sat in ambush in the room, like the first times (verses 9, 12)?
Malbim: After she lied to them twice, they no longer heeded her words.
Why does it say that he woke? It does not say so the previous times!
Radak: Also the previous times she tied him when he was asleep, lest he object. (The Navi revealed this only here.)
Metzudas David: Previously, she tied him up while awake. He would not let her weave his hair, for a Nazir may not even comb his hair, lest hairs be uprooted. She did so while he slept. 1
What is "ha'Yesad ha'Ereg"?
Radak: It is the peg inserted into the pole around which the fabric is rolled (lest it separate). Sometimes, there is a prefix Hei before a Semichus (compound noun), e.g. "ha'Lishkos ha'Kodesh" (Yechezkel 46:19). Or, a word is missing; it should say ha'Yesed, Yesad ha'Ereg.
