"And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am." — Judges 13:11 (ASV)

and came to the man, and said to him, are you the man that spoke
to the woman ?
meaning his wife then present:
and he said, I am ;
the very same person; for though he was not a man, yet appearing in an human form was taken for one; and therefore makes answer according to the supposition of him, and was the selfsame person, and in the same form he had appeared before.
