Exegesis
The parents’ question uses the interrogative ha’ên {הַאֵן֩ | ha’ên} ‘is there not’ and two parallel prepositional phrases bivnot {בִּבְנ֨וֹת | bivnôṯ} ‘among the daughters of’ and ūvəkal-’ammî {וּבְכָל־עַמִּי֙ | ūvəḵāl-’ammî} ‘and among all my people’, emphasizing familial boundaries.
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.”
