Exegesis
The participle sho’eg {שֹׁאֵג | šō·’ēg} ‘roaring’ adds immediacy, and liqrato {לִקְרָאתוֹ | liq·rā·’ō·ṯô} ‘toward him’ indicates direction, culminating in a vivid, suspenseful encounter.
In context — Judges 14:5
And Samson went down with his father and his mother to Timnah, and they came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion was roaring as it came toward him.
