‘ And God heard the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field, and Manoah her husband was not with her.'
Again we have the stress that to the woman He was ‘God'. She had yet to appreciate the full truth. ‘As she sat in the field (the countryside).' She may have been watching the sheep. He wanted her to know that His dealings were in fact with her, for she would be mother to the one who was to be born and was herself to come under a solemn vow.
