Is there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people?
"Surely there are unmarried women among your people whom you could marry.". It was considered sinful for a man of Israel to marry a Canaanite or anyone from a different people group. This is why Samson's parents did not want him to marry a Philistine woman. She caused Samson many problems.
Are you going to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?
"You really should not marry a Philistine woman because the Philistine people do not worship Yahweh."
Get her for me
"Now arrange for her to be my wife"
she pleases me
"I am pleased by how beautiful she is" or "she is beautiful"
