Context of Judges 13:9
7He told me, ‘You’re going to become pregnant and have a son. So don’t drink any wine or liquor or eat any unclean food because the boy will be a Nazirite dedicated to God from the time he is born until he dies.’ ” 8Then Manoah pleaded with the Lord, “Please, Lord, let the man of God you sent come back to us. Let him teach us what we must do for the boy who will be born.” God did what Manoah asked. The Messenger of God came back to his wife while she was sitting out in the fields. But her husband Manoah was not with her. 10The woman ran quickly to tell her husband. She said, “The man who came to me the other day has just appeared to me ⌞again⌟.” 11Manoah immediately followed his wife. When he came to the man, he asked him, “Are you the man who spoke to my wife?” “Yes,” he answered.
