Contextual Overview

8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord . He said, "Lord, I beg you to send the man of God to us again. We want him to teach us what we should do for the boy who will soon be born." 9 God heard Manoah's prayer. The angel of God came to the woman again. She was sitting in a field and her husband Manoah was not with her. 10 So the woman ran to tell her husband, "The man is back! The man who came to me the other day is here." 11 Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he came to the man, he said, "Are you the same man who spoke to my wife before?" The angel said, "I am." 12 So Manoah said, "May what you say happen. Tell me, what kind of life will the boy live? What will he do?" 13 The angel of the Lord said to Manoah, "Your wife must do everything I told her. 14 She must not eat anything that grows on a grapevine. She must not drink any wine or strong drink. She must not eat any food that is unclean. She must do everything that I have commanded her to do."

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.
