Her husband Manoah was not with her, 10 so she ran at once and told him, "Look! The man who came to me the other day has appeared to me again." 11 Manoah got up and followed his wife. He went to the man and asked, "Are you the man who talked to my wife?" "Yes," he answered. 12 Then Manoah said, "Now then, when your words come true, what must the boy do? What kind of a life must he lead?" 13 The Lord 's angel answered, "Your wife must be sure to do everything that I have told her. 14 She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine; she must not drink any wine or beer, or eat any forbidden food.

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.
