Jueces 6:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee
Intending to go to his own, or his father's house, to fetch some food to entertain him with, and therefore entreats he would not quit the place where he was until he returned:

and bring forth my present, and set it before thee;
to treat him with, as a stranger and a messenger of God; and perhaps he thought, by this means, the better to discover who he was, whether an angel or a man: the word for the "present" is "minchah", often used for a meat offering, therefore some have thought of a sacrifice; but it appears by what follows that it was not of the nature of a sacrifice; and, besides, Gideon was no priest, nor was this a place for sacrifice, nor was there here any altar; and, besides, as Gideon did not yet know that it was the Lord himself, he could never think of offering a sacrifice to him:

and he said, I will tarry until thou come again;
which was a wonderful instance of divine condescension, it being some time he waited ere Gideon could prepare what he brought, as follows.

Jueces 6:18 In-Context

16 El Señor
le dijo:
—Yo estaré contigo, y destruirás a los madianitas como si estuvieras luchando contra un solo hombre.

17 —Si de verdad cuento con tu favor —respondió Gedeón—, muéstrame una señal para asegurarme de que es realmente el Señor
quien habla conmigo.

18 No te vayas hasta que te traiga mi ofrenda.
Él respondió:
—Aquí me quedaré hasta que regreses.

19 Entonces Gedeón fue de prisa a su casa. Asó un cabrito y horneó pan sin levadura con una medida
de harina. Luego llevó la carne en una canasta y el caldo en una olla. Puso todo delante del ángel, quien estaba bajo el gran árbol.

20 Así que el ángel de Dios le dijo: «Pon la carne y el pan sin levadura sobre esta piedra y derrama el caldo sobre ellos». Y Gedeón hizo lo que se le indicó.
