Exegesis
The particle vehinneh {וְהִנֵּה | wə·hin·nēh} ‘and behold’ shifts attention, leading to the descriptive apposition kefir arayot {כְּפִיר אֲרָיוֹת | ke·pîr ’a·rā·yōt} ‘a young lion among lions’, intensifying the image.
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.
