Exegesis
The noun phrase ish haElohim {אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים | ʾîš hāʾĕlōhîm} “man of God” is modified by the relative clause asher shalachta {אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַחְתָּ | ʾăšer šālaḥtā} “whom You sent.”
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.”
