Giudici 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.

Giudici 13:8 In-Context

6 E la donna andò a dire a suo marito: "Un uomo di Dio è venuto da me; avea il sembiante d’un angelo di Dio: un sembiante terribile fuor di modo. Io non gli ho domandato donde fosse, ed egli non m’ha detto il suo nome;
7 ma mi ha detto: Ecco, tu concepirai e partorirai un figliuolo; or dunque non bere vino né bevanda alcoolica, e non mangiare alcun che d’impuro, giacché il fanciullo sarà un Nazireo, consacrato a Dio dal seno di sua madre e fino al giorno della sua morte".
8 Allora Manoah supplicò l’Eterno, e disse: "O Signore, ti prego che l’uomo di Dio mandato da te torni di nuovo a noi e c’insegni quello che dobbiam fare per il bambino che nascerà".
9 E Dio esaudì la preghiera di Manoah; e l’angelo di Dio tornò ancora dalla donna, che stava sedendo nel campo; ma Manoah, suo marito, non era con lei.
10 La donna corse in fretta a informar suo marito del fatto, e gli disse: "Ecco, quell’uomo che venne da me l’altro giorno, m’è apparito".
