Judges 13:13 Meaning and Commentary

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.

Judges 13:13 In-Context

11 Manoah got up and followed his wife, and came to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to this woman?" And he said, "I am."

12 Then Manoah said, "Now when your words come true, what is to be the boy's rule of life; what is he to do?"

13 The angel of the Lord said to Manoah, "Let the woman give heed to all that I said to her.

14 She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine. She is not to drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing. She is to observe everything that I commanded her."

15 Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, "Allow us to detain you, and prepare a kid for you."
