The Hebrew word for "young goat" is "גְּדִי" (gedi), which was a common sacrificial animal in ancient Israelite culture. The "grain offering," or "מִנְחָה" (minchah), was a tribute to God, often symbolizing dedication and thanksgiving. This act of offering reflects the deep reverence and obedience Manoah had towards God, acknowledging His divine presence and seeking His favor.<p><b>and offered them on a rock to the LORD</b><br />The act of offering on a "rock" is significant, as rocks were often used as altars in the Old Testament when a formal altar was not available. The Hebrew word for "rock" is "צוּר" (tsur), symbolizing strength and permanence. Offering sacrifices on a rock signifies a firm foundation in faith and trust in God. This act of worship was directed "to the LORD," emphasizing the personal relationship and covenant between God and His people.<p><b>and the LORD did a marvelous thing</b><br />The phrase "the LORD did a marvelous thing" highlights the miraculous nature of God's actions. The Hebrew root for "marvelous" is "פָּלָא" (pala), which conveys the idea of something extraordinary or beyond human comprehension. This underscores the divine intervention and the supernatural aspect of God's work in the lives of His people, reminding us of His omnipotence and the wonders He performs for those who trust in Him.<p><b>while Manoah and his wife looked on</b><br />This phrase indicates that Manoah and his wife were witnesses to the divine act. Their presence and observation signify the importance of personal experience in faith. The act of witnessing God's work strengthens belief and commitment. It also serves as a testimony to others of God's power and faithfulness. The inclusion of both Manoah and his wife highlights the role of family in spiritual experiences and the shared journey of faith.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/judges/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(19) <span class= "bld">Did wonderously.</span>--With a reference to the <span class= "ital">word peli </span>in the previous verse.
