Compare all
18 And the Angel of the Lord said to him, a“Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?”  
19 So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, aand offered it upon the rock to the Lord. And He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife looked on—  
20 it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar! When Manoah and his wife saw this, they afell on their faces to the ground.  
21 When the Angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, athen Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the Lord.  
22 And Manoah said to his wife, a“We shall surely die, because we have seen God!”  
23 But his wife said to him, “If the Lord had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have told us such things as these at this time.”
24 So the woman bore a son and called his name aSamson; and bthe child grew, and the Lord blessed him.  
25 aAnd the Spirit of the Lord began to move upon him at1 Mahaneh Dan bbetween Zorah and cEshtaol.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Judges 13:19   Judges 13:21 >>


Judges 13:20

The altar - That is, from that part of the rock which served instead of an altar, upon which the sacrifice was laid. Ascended - To manifest his nature and essence to be spiritual. Fell - Partly in reverence to that glorious presence manifested in so wonderful a manner: and partly, out of a religious horror and fear of death; for the prevention thereof they fell down in way of supplication to God.
