Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Judges 13:15

THE ANGEL OF JEHOVAH REVEALS HIS SUPERNATURAL CHARACTER"And Manoah said unto the angel of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee. And the angel of Jehovah said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt make ready a burnt-offering thou must offer it unto Jehovah. And Manoah said unto the angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that, when thy words come to pass, we may do thee honor? And the angel of Jehovah said unto... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Judges 13:16

Judges 13:16. And if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou must offer it unto the Lord— Manoah, as we observed, supposing this divine personage to be a prophet, was desirous to entertain him in a hospitable manner, and agreeably to his extraordinary commission; See Gen 18:3-4 and ch. Jdg 6:18 but the angel told him, that though he should comply with his request, and stay, yet he would not eat of his food; insinuating thereby who he was "But, continues he, (not and, as we render it,) if thou... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Judges 13:15

15. Manoah said unto the angel . . ., I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid—The stranger declined the intended hospitality and intimated that if the meat were to be an offering, it must be presented to the Lord [Judges 13:6]. Manoah needed this instruction, for his purpose was to offer the prepared viands to him, not as the Lord, but as what he imagined him to be, not even an angel (Judges 13:6- :), but a prophet or merely human messenger. It was on this account,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Judges 13:1-25

F. The sixth apostasy chs. 13-16"From chapters 13 to 18, the author concentrates on the tribe of Dan, which had been one of the largest and most prominent tribes during the wilderness march (Numbers 2:25-31). In the period of the judges, however, Dan seemed helpless against the Amorites (Judges 1:34) and moved northward to find new territory (chs. 17-18). Contrasted with these failures are the exploits of Samson, whose personal achievements are detailed in four chapters. Yet his own life was a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Judges 13:8-23

The revelations of the Angel 13:8-23God sent His Angel to revisit Manoah and his wife because they voiced questions in prayer about how they should rear Samson (Judges 13:8), his way of life (Judges 13:12), and his vocation (Judges 13:12). Their desire to bring their son up according to God’s will was commendable. Samson’s parents were similar to Samuel’s in this respect (cf. 1 Samuel 1:27-28; 1 Samuel 2:19).Evidently Manoah also assumed that the Angel of the Lord was a prophet (Judges 13:17).... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 13:1-25

The Story of SamsonExcept for Judges 15:20 and Judges 16:31, Samson has none of the characteristics of a Judge. His exploits against the Philistines are all solitary, and though they doubtless afforded relief to the Israelites, they left no permanent result. We learn much more of the internal organisation of the Philistines than of any of the other foes of Israel; and it was their continued and formidable opposition which, under the will of Jehovah, really welded Israel into a single nation in... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Judges 13:15

(15) A kid for thee.—Literally, before thy face. The narrative is closely analogous to that of the appearance of the angel to Gideon, and there is the same uncertainty in the terms used, so that we cannot certainly decide whether Manoah’s object was to offer a sacrifice or to offer hospitality. The verb gnasoth, like the Greek rezein (LXX., poisin) and the Latin facere, means either “to do” or “to sacrifice.” A kid was a special delicacy (Genesis 27:9; 1 Samuel 16:20). (See Augustine, Quaest.,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Judges 13:16

(16) Thou must offer it unto the Lord.—Rather, a burnt offering unto the Lord thou mayest offer it. (Comp. Judges 6:20.) Angels invariably discourage and reprove that “worship of angels” (Colossians 2:18), which was the tendency of early Gnostic sects (Daniel 10:0; Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:8). The angel might have partaken of earthly food, as we see from Genesis 18:8; Genesis 19:3. Hence Milton says:—“Food alike these pureIntelligential substances require,As doth your rational.”—Par.... read more

Judges 13:21 The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. George Eliot. A Woman's Logic Judges 13:22-23 We say usually that woman has instinct and man has logic. That is an ingenious definition to save the masculine face. For really instinct is logic without its forms, and you have only to look at this text to see that the woman's instinct and logic are alike sound and convincing. I.... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Judges 13:1-18

THE ANGEL IN THE FIELDJudges 13:1-18IN our ignorance not in our knowledge, in our blindness not in our light, we call nature secular and think of the ordinary course of events as a series of cold operations, governed by law and force, having nothing to do with divine purpose and love. Oftentimes we think so, and suffer because we do not understand. It is a pitiful error. The natural could not exist, there could be neither substance nor order without the over-nature which is at once law and... read more
