1. Judges 13:5 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Why does the angel repeat his statement of verse 3?

Judges 13:5 (ESV)

5 for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”

The angel here repeats what he said in verse Judges 13:3: “You shall conceive and bear a son.” He does so to make sure that Manoah’s wife has grasped the full import of what he has said.
