Judges 13:18 (King James Version)
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
- Why askest
- 6 ; Genesis 32:29
- secret
- or, wonderful.
- It was because his name was secret that Manoah wished to know it. But the angel does not say it was secret, but {hoo pailee,} "it is wonderful;" the very character given to the Messiah: "His name shall be called {pailai,} Wonderful," Isaiah 9:6 .
