Exegesis
The purpose clause links the participle holekh {הוֹלֵךְ֙ | hōlēḵ} ‘going’ with the infinitive lakachat {לָקַחַת֙ | lāqaḥat} ‘to take’, conveying intent.
In context — Judges 14:3
And his father and his mother said to him, “Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers or among all my people that you must go and take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Take her for me, for she is right in my eyes.”
