Judges 13:16-18
eat <0398> [I will not.]
As I am a spiritual being, I subsist not by earthly food; and cannot partake of your bounty.
If ........... if <0518> [and if, etc.]
Rather, "but if thou wilt offer," etc.
[unto thee.]
ask <07592> [Why askest.]
cannot comprehend <06383> [secret. or, wonderful.]
It was because his name was secret that Manoah wished to know it. But the angel does not say it was secret, but {hoo pailee,} "it is wonderful;" the very character given to the Messiah: "His name shall be called {pailai,} Wonderful," Isa 9:6.
