[13:6]  1 tn Heb “The man of God.”

[13:6]  2 tn Heb “His appearance was like the appearance of the messenger of God, very awesome.”

[13:17]  3 tn Heb “Who your name? For [when] your word comes [to pass], we will honor you.” Manoah apparently gets tongue-tied and uses the wrong pronoun (“who” instead of “what”). He starts to say, “Who are you?” But then he switches to “your name” as if he began the sentence with “what.” See R. G. Boling, Judges (AB), 222.
