Richter 13:3 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 13:3

And the angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman
According to Josephus F11, it was in a plain without the city; and that he appeared in the form of a man is certain from ( Judges 13:6 ) but was not a mere man, a prophet of the Lord, nor a created angel, but the uncreated one, the Angel of the covenant, the Son and Word of God, who often appeared in an human form; since his name is said to be "Wonderful", and he to do wonderful things, and is called "Jehovah", ( Judges 13:18 Judges 13:23 ) ,

and said unto her, behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not;
barren at that time, and so she had been ever since she was married to that time; and this is observed, that it might appear the more wonderful that she should after this have a child:

but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son;
which to do, must be ascribed to divine power, that one in her circumstances should bear a son; as the prediction of it was owing to divine omniscience, and a proof of it.

Richter 13:3 In-Context

1 Und die Kinder Israel taten wiederum was böse war in den Augen Jehovas; und Jehova gab sie in die Hand der Philister vierzig Jahre.
2 Und es war ein Mann aus Zorha, vom Geschlecht der Daniter, sein Name war Manoah. Und sein Weib war unfruchtbar und gebar nicht.
3 Und der Engel Jehovas erschien dem Weibe und sprach zu ihr: Siehe doch, du bist unfruchtbar und gebierst nicht; aber du wirst schwanger werden und einen Sohn gebÀren.
4 Und nun hĂŒte dich doch und trinke weder Wein noch starkes GetrĂ€nk, und iß nichts Unreines!
5 Denn siehe, du wirst schwanger werden und einen Sohn gebÀren; und kein Schermesser soll auf sein Haupt kommen, denn ein Nasir Gottes soll der Knabe sein von Mutterleibe an; und er wird anfangen, Israel aus der Hand der Philister zu retten.
