Contextual Overview

8Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, "Please, O Lord, let the Man of God You sent us come to us again to teach us how to raise the boy who is to be born." 9And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the Angel of God returned to the woman as she was sitting in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her. 10The woman ran quickly to tell her husband, "Behold, the Man who came to me the other day has reappeared!" 11So Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the Man, he asked, "Are You the Man who spoke to my wife?" "I am," He said. 12Then Manoah asked, "When Your words come to pass, what will be the boy's rule of life and mission?" 13So the Angel of the LORD answered Manoah, "Your wife needs to do everything I told her.14She is not to eat anything that comes from the vine or drink wine or strong drink. And she must not eat anything unclean. Your wife must do everything I have commanded her."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah,.... Giving him no direct answer to his question, either what should be done to the child, or what that should do; only reminds of and repeats what he had said to his wife, which she should be careful to observe and would, and that was enough for him to know:

of all that I said to the woman, let her beware; take to abstain from everything in eating and drinking during the time of her going with child, he had joined, which are particularly repeated in the next verse.
