Exegesis
The narrative opens with the vav-consecutive verbs vattabo {וַתָּבֹ֣א | wā-ṭā-bō} ‘and she came’ and vatomer {וַתֹּ֣אמֶר | waṭ-ṭō-mer} ‘and she said’, signaling sequential action and introducing direct speech via the infinitive construct lemor {לֵאמֹר | le-ʾā-môr} ‘saying’.
In context — Judges 13:6
Then the woman came and said to her husband, “A man of God came to me, and he looked like an angel of God—very awesome. I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name.”
