Exegesis

Samson’s reply introduces the imperative qaḥ-lî {קַֽח־לִ֔י | qaḥ-lî} ‘take for me’ and closes with the evaluative perfect yāšərâh {יָשְׁרָ֥ה | yāšərâh} ‘is right’ qualified by bə’ênāy {בְעֵינָֽי | bə’ênāy} ‘in my eyes’. The shift from Hebrew VSO in the question to SVO in the answer guides the English rendering from rhetorical inquiry to direct command.
