Ten Sefirot

Naso: Verse 130

וְאִי תֵּימָא, שִׁמְשׁוֹן נְזִיר אֱלֹֹהִים הֲוָה, אֲמַאי אִתְעַנָּשׁ. אֶלָּא שַׁפִּיר הוּא מִלָּה, דְּבָעַל בַּת אֵל נֵכָר. וַהֲוָה לֵיהּ לְאִתְחַבְּרָא בְּדִידֵיהּ, בְּמָה דְּאִתְחֲזֵי לֵיהּ. וְהוּא דַּהֲוָה קַדִּישׁ, אַעְרָב הַהִיא קְדוּשָּׁה בְּבַת אֵל נֵכָר, וְשָׁבִיק אַתְרֵיהּ, דְּאִתְחֲזֵי לְהַהִיא קְדוּשָּׁה, ובג"כ אִתְעַנָּשׁ.

If you wonder about Samson, who was a Nazirite to Elohim, why was he punished? HE REPLIES: It was proper for him, MEANING HE DESERVED THE PUNISHMENT because he joined in marriage with a gentile woman, MEANING DELILAH. He should have joined with his own kind, with what was appropriate for him, but he, who was holy, mingled that holiness with a daughter of a foreign El and abandoned his appropriate state of holiness. Therefore, he was punished.
