Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Jdg 13:15 - Made ready

Supposing him to be a man and a prophet, to whom he would in this manner express his respect, as was usual to strangers.

JFB: Jdg 13:15 - Manoah said unto the angel . . ., I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid

The stranger declined the intended hospitality and intimated that if the meat were to be an offering, it must be presented to the Lord [Jdg 13:6]. Manoah needed this instruction, for his purpose was to offer the prepared viands to him, not as the Lord, but as what he imagined him to be, not even an angel (Jdg 13:16), but a prophet or merely human messenger. It was on this account, and not as rejecting divine honors, that he spoke in this manner to Manoah. The angel's language was exactly similar to that of our Lord (Mat 19:17).

Clarke: Jdg 13:15 - Until we shall have made ready a kid

Until we shall have made ready a kid - Not knowing his quality, Manoah wished to do this as an act of hospitality.

Gill: Jdg 13:15 - And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord // I pray thee let me detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee

And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord,.... Being satisfied with what he had said, and perceiving that he chose to say no more, and was about to depart:

I pray thee let me detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee; to eat a meal with them, in token of gratitude for the trouble he had been at in bringing these messages to them, taking him to be a man, a prophet of the Lord, for whom they were wont to make entertainments; and Abarbinel thinks Manoah proposed this, on purpose to detain him, in hope that while they were eating together he would reveal some secrets unto him.
