Judges 13:8

GOD ANSWERED MANOAH'S PRAYER; AND THE ANGEL OF JEHOVAH REAPPEARS AND REPEATS THE MESSAGE

"Then Manoah entreated Jehovah, and said, Oh Lord, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. And God hearkened unto the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her. And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day. And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am. And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and how shall we do unto him? And the Angel of Jehovah said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware. She may not eat of anything 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."

This paragraph is a repetition, for the sake of Manoah, of what was reported in the previous paragraph.

"Now let thy words come to pass" (Judges 13:12). This is an indication of Manoah's faith in the word of the messenger from God as previously reported to him by his wife.

It should be noted here that God did not elaborate the instructions already given, but merely repeated them, adding nothing whatever to what had already been commanded.
