Judges 13:11 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 13:11

And Manoah arose and went after his wife
As soon as she had delivered the above, she made all the haste she could to the man again, lest he should think her too long, and depart; and it was proper enough she should go first, to direct her husband where the man was; Jarchi interprets it, after her counsel and advice:

and came to the man, and said unto him, art thou the man that spakest
unto 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.

10 So the woman hurriedly ran and informed her husband. She said to him, "The man who came to me the other day has just appeared to me."

11 Manoah got up and followed his wife. He came to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to this woman?" "I am," he replied.

12 Manoah said, "Now when your words come true, what should be the rules for the boy and how he should act?"

13 The LORD's messenger answered Manoah, "The woman should be careful to do everything that I told her.
