16And the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “Though you detain Me, I will not eat your food. But if you offer a burnt offering, you must offer it to the Lord.” (For Manoah did not know He was the Angel of the Lord.)
17Then Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, “What is Your name, that when Your words come to pass we may honor You?”
18And the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?”
“Here, the Angel of the LORD showed Himself to be God, in the sense that He did not need a meal but would accept a sacrificial offering made unto the LORD.” (Guzik)
“Here the Angel of the LORD shows Himself to be Jesus, in taking the name wonderful (Isaiah 9:6).” (Guzik)
Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV)
- 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
When studying the Bible it is necessary at times to examine different translations. The version I study most of the time is the BSB,
Berean Study Bible, and instead of wonderful is says: beyond comprehension?”.
Aramaic Lamsa Bible: seeing it is Glorious?
Greek Interlinial Bible: seeing it is secret*?
Secret, Glorious, beyond comprehension, Wonderful!
And His name will be called Wonderful!
Blessings
