Judges 13:12

Verse 12

12. Manoah said Manoah’s words are not correctly rendered in our English version, but should read, Now thy words shall come to pass; what shall be the manner of the child and his work? The former sentence has the relation of a protasis to the following, as, When thy words come to pass, what shall be, etc.? By the manner and work of the child, Manoah meant both their manner and work towards their son, as expressed in the English version, and also his manner and work towards them and Israel. The Angel answers so far as their work is concerned, but leaves it for the future to tell the rest.
