Exegesis
The narrative unfolds with the vav-consecutive clause wayyishma {וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע | wayyišma‘} ‘and he heard’, which initiates divine responsiveness by Elohim {הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים | hāʼĕlōhîm}.
In the coordinated clause wayyavo malakh ha’elohim od el-ha’ishah {וַיָּבֹא מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים ע֜וֹד אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה} ‘and the angel of God came again to the woman’, the adverb ’od {ע֜וֹד | ʿōd} marks a repeated theophany.
