Sha'arei Orah
Thus, if in your study of scripture you encounter an angel speaking to a prophet in a prophetic vision, or an angel speaking to someone else, know and understand that there is an additional matter here, which requires explanation. For, as you know, an angel indeed spoke to Hagar, Sarah’s maidservant, as it states,149Genesis 16:7-9 “An angel of HaShem-יהו״ה found her by the spring of water… and the angel of HaShem-יהו״ה said to her,” as well as the entire matter of Hagar. However, know that Hagar was not a prophetess. The same is so of Manoach, as it states,150Judges 13:16 “The angel of HaShem-יהו״ה said to Manoach, ‘If you detain me, I shall not eat your food,’” and as you see [from the narrative there], since Manoach was an ignoramus, he did not even realize that an angel was speaking to him.151Talmud Bavli, Brachot 61a This is clear from the fact that when he saw the angel of HaShem-יהו״ה ascending in the flame upon the altar,152See Judges 13:20-22 – “Then Manoach realized that he was an angel of HaShem-יהו״ה.” he was shocked and said to his wife,153Judges 13: 22 “We will surely die, for we have seen a Godly angel.”
