Jueces 13:8 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 13:8

Then Manoah entreated the Lord
Josephus F12 makes the woman to entreat the Lord; but the text is clear for it that it was Manoah that prayed:

and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send unto us;
he believed that the man that came to his wife was a man of God, and that he was of his sending; nor was he incredulous of the message he brought, as appears by what follows:

and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born;
he believed there would be a child born, and he knew what was to be done to a Nazarite in common, according to the law of God respecting such, and the angel had mentioned somewhat to the woman; yet this being an extraordinary case, a Nazarite from his birth to his death, he was desirous of knowing what was further to be done; or if there was any thing more special and particular to be observed concerning him; which showed his readiness and cheerfulness to obey the will of God in all things.

Jueces 13:8 In-Context

6 La mujer fue adonde estaba su esposo y le dijo: «Un hombre de Dios vino adonde yo estaba. Por su aspecto imponente, parecía un ángel de Dios. Ni yo le pregunté de dónde venía, ni él me dijo cómo se llamaba.
7 Pero me dijo: “Concebirás y darás a luz un hijo. Ahora bien, cuídate de no beber vino ni ninguna otra bebida fuerte, ni de comer nada impuro, porque el niño será nazareo, consagrado a Dios desde antes de nacer hasta el día de su muerte”».
8 Entonces Manoa oró al SEÑOR: «Oh SEÑOR, te ruego que permitas que vuelva el hombre de Dios que nos enviaste, para que nos enseñe cómo criar al niño que va a nacer».
9 Dios escuchó a Manoa, y el ángel de Dios volvió a aparecerse a la mujer mientras esta se hallaba en el campo; pero Manoa su esposo no estaba con ella.
10 La mujer corrió de inmediato a avisarle a su esposo: «¡Está aquí! ¡El hombre que se me apareció el otro día!»
