Context of Judges 13:14

12And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? 13And the angel of Yhwh said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware. She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe. 15And Manoah said unto the angel of Yhwh, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee. 16And the angel of Yhwh said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto Yhwh. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of Yhwh.
