What Does Judges 13:13 Mean?
The angel's answer points Manoah back to what the woman has already been told. There is no new revelation to add; the instructions given to her are sufficient. 'Let her beware' -- let her carefully keep all that was commanded. The word given once is enough to be obeyed.
God's guidance is often clearer and simpler than we expect. Manoah asked for more, and the answer was essentially: do what has already been said. Faithfulness lies less in receiving endless new instructions than in honoring the ones we have. The woman's careful keeping of a few clear commands is the obedience God asks, and it is enough.
