Judges 13:13

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.

11 So Manoah arose and followed his wife. When he came to the Man, he said to Him, "Are You the Man who spoke to this woman?" And He said, "I am."

12 Manoah said, "Now let Your words come to pass! What will be the boy's rule of life, and his work?"

13 So the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful.

15 Then Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, "Please let us detain You, and we will prepare a young goat for You."
