Exegesis

Manoah’s entreaty el-YHWH {אֶל־יְהוָה | ʾel Yəhōwāh} “to the LORD” is intensified by the particle bi {בִּ֣י | bī} and the divine title Adonai {אֲדוֹנָ֔י | ʾădōnāy}, marking respectful petition.

In context — Judges 13:8

And Manoah pleaded with the LORD and said, “O my Lord , please let the man of God whom You sent come again and teach us what we should do for the child who is to be born.”
