Contextual Overview

8 Manoah prayed to the Lord , "Please, Lord, allow the man sent from God to visit us again, so he can teach us how we should raise the child who will be born." 9 God answered Manoah's prayer. God's angelic messenger visited the woman again while she was sitting in the field. But her husband Manoah was not with her. 10 The woman ran at once and told her husband, "Come quickly, the man who visited me the other day has appeared to me!" 11 So Manoah got up and followed his wife. When he met the man, he said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to my wife?" He said, "Yes." 12 Manoah said, "Now, when your announcement comes true, how should the child be raised and what should he do?" 13 The Lord 's messenger told Manoah, "Your wife should pay attention to everything I told her. 14 She should not drink anything that the grapevine produces. She must not drink wine or beer, and she must not eat any food that will make her ritually unclean. She should obey everything I 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.
