Exegesis
The adverbial shenit {שֵׁנִית֙ | šê-nîṯ} ‘a second time’ marks repetition before the next vav-consecutive imperfect vay-yig-ga‘-bô {וַיִּגַּע־בּ֔וֹ | wa-yig-ga‘-bô}, rendered as ‘touched him’ in both formal and dynamic to convey literal immediacy.
In context — 1 Kings 19:7
The angel of the LORD returned a second time and touched him, then said, “Arise and eat, for the journey overtaxes you.”
