Exegesis
The locative betimnatah {בְתִמְנָתָה | bə·timnāṯā} ‘in Timnah’ uses the preposition be plus locative suffix, followed by the construct phrase mibnot pelishtim {מִבְּנוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים | mib·nōṯ Pəlištîm} ‘from daughters of Philistines’, specifying ethnic background.
In context — Judges 14:2
He went up and told his parents, and said, “I have seen a woman in Timnah from among the daughters of the Philistines; now take her for me as a wife .”
