Juízes 13:6

6 Então a mulher entrou, e falou a seu marido, dizendo: Veio a mim um homem de Deus, cujo semblante era como o de um anjo de Deus, em extremo terrível; e não lhe perguntei de onde era, nem ele me disse o seu nome;

Juízes 13:6 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 13:6

Then the woman came and told her husband
To whom it would be joyful news, as it was to her:

saying, a man of God came unto me;
he appeared in an human form, and therefore she calls him a man; and by his mien and deportment, and the message he brought, she concluded he was a man of God, that is, a prophet; by which name such persons went in those days; and so the Targum calls him a prophet of the Lord: but it is a mere conceit of Ben Gersom that it was Phinehas, who in all probability was not living; besides what is after related shows that this was a divine Person, and no other than the Son of God:

and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very
terrible;
for though she might never have seen an angel, yet it being a common notion that angels were very illustrious, of a beautiful form and of a shining countenance, and very majestic, she compares the man she saw to one; for by being "very terrible", is not meant that he was frightful, and struck her with horror, but venerable and majestic, which filled her with admiration:

but I asked him not whence he [was], neither told he me his name;
this she added to prevent her husband's inquiring about his name and place of abode; and perhaps, as she came along, she reflected on herself that she did not ask those questions; which might be owing to the surprise she was in, partly at the awful and venerable appearance of the person, and partly at the joyful news he brought her; though it seems as if she did ask his name, but he did not tell her what it was.

Juízes 13:6 In-Context

4 Agora pois, toma cuidado, e não bebas vinho nem bebida forte, e não comas coisa alguma impura;

5 porque tu conceberás e terás um filho, sobre cuja cabeça não passará navalha, porquanto o menino será nazireu de Deus desde o ventre de sua mãe; e ele começara a livrar a Israel da mão dos filisteus.

6 Então a mulher entrou, e falou a seu marido, dizendo: Veio a mim um homem de Deus, cujo semblante era como o de um anjo de Deus, em extremo terrível; e não lhe perguntei de onde era, nem ele me disse o seu nome;

7 porém disse-me: Eis que tu conceberás e terás um filho. Agora pois, não bebas vinho nem bebida forte, e não comas coisa impura; porque o menino sera nazireu de Deus, desde o ventre de sua mãe até o dia da sua morte.

8 Então Manoá suplicou ao Senhor, dizendo: Ah! Senhor meu, rogo-te que o homem de Deus, que enviaste, venha ter conosco outra vez e nos ensine o que devemos fazer ao menino que há de nascer.
