Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁ֥ר | ’ăsher} ‘which’ and the participle holkim {הֹלְכִ֥ים | hôlḵîm} ‘going’ form a relative participial clause modifying darkenu {דַּרְכֵּ֔נוּ | darkēnû} ‘our way.’
In context — Judges 18:5
And they said to him, “Please inquire of God for us, so that we may know whether our way on which we are going will succeed.”
