Context of Judges 13:14

12Then Manoah asked him, ‘When what you promised happens, how should the boy live? What kind of work will he do?’ 13The Lord's angel answered, ‘Your wife must be careful to do everything that I told her. She must not eat anything that comes from vines. She must not drink wine or beer. She must not eat any food that is unclean. She must obey everything that I have commanded her to do.’ 15Manoah said to the Lord's angel, ‘Please stay here with us. We would like to cook a young goat for you to eat.’ 16The angel replied, ‘Even if I stay with you, I will not eat your food. But you may prepare a burnt offering as a sacrifice to the Lord.’ The angel said that because Manoah had not realized that he was the Lord's angel.
