Judges 13:21 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 13:21

But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to
his wife
As the flame and smoke ascended, he disappeared therewith, and was seen no more:

then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the Lord;
by the wondrous things he did, causing fire to come down from heaven, or out of the rock, ascending in the midst of the flame, without being hurt by it, and going up to heaven in it.

Judges 13:21 In-Context

19 So Manoah sacrificed a young goat on a rock and offered some grain as a gift to the Lord. Then an amazing thing happened as Manoah and his wife watched.

20 The flames went up to the sky from the altar. As the fire burned, the angel of the Lord went up to heaven in the flame. When Manoah and his wife saw that, they bowed facedown on the ground.

21 The angel of the Lord did not appear to them again. Then Manoah understood that the man was really the angel of the Lord.

22 Manoah said, "We have seen God, so we will surely die."

23 But his wife said to him, "If the Lord wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted our burnt offering or grain offering. He would not have shown us all these things or told us all this."
