Samson Carries the Gates of Gaza on Sixty-Cubit Shoulders

"And he arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate" (Judges 16:3). It was taught: Rabbi Shimon the Pious said, the breadth between Samson's shoulders was sixty cubits, as it is said, "And Samson lay until midnight, and arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and of the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron" (Judges 16:3). And it is taught: the doors of a city are not less than sixty cubits.
