Judges 13:14

"The LORD’s angel said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her beware."

Key Reflection

In Judges 13:14, the LORD’s angel instructs Manoah to heed carefully all that had been revealed to his wife about the child they were expecting. The original audience would recognize this as a reminder of the divine command and its importance, given the context of supernatural revelations and strict adherence to God's will in ancient Israelite culture. This verse underscores the seriousness with which one must approach prophetic messages, reflecting the high value placed on obedience and divine instruction during that time.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

CompareNumbers 6:4. In both passages the vine is described by the somewhat unusual though more accurate term, “vine of the wine” - the grape-bearing vine - to distinguish it from the wild cucumber vine2 Kings 4:39, or other plants to which the name vine was applied.
