Exegesis
The object of eating is the construct phrase bəlaḥmēkā {בְּלַחְמֶ֔ךָ | bəlaḥmēkā} ‘your bread’.
In context — Judges 13:16
And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, “Even if you detain me, I will not eat of your bread ; but if you prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD.” For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.
