Exegesis
The infinitive constructs lakachat {לָקַחַת | lā-qa-ḥat} and la’asot {לַעֲשׂוֹת | la-ʿă-śōt} govern tzedah to express purposeful intent (“to take provision,” “to do”), while levo’am {לְבוֹאָם | lə-vo-ʾām} adds a temporal–result clause for their coming to Gibeah, highlighting preparatory readiness.
In context — Judges 20:10
And we will take ten men from every hundred of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred from every thousand, and a thousand from every ten thousand, to secure provisions for the people , so that they may act when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin according to all the outrage done in Israel.
