But the patience of the Lord is something to perceive!
Manoah entreats the Lord, praying that the angel return,
Under the pretense that he teach them what they need to learn.
God listened to Manoah: but appears again to the woman!!
We imagine her smiling as she runs to get her husband.
The woman had told her husband that the man was like an angel;
But he seems not to get it: treats him only from a human angle.
Manoah wants to detain him, in accord with hospitality;
Wants to know his name, perhaps for accountability.
Seems he can’t see Transcendence when looking it in the face;
The angel gives many hints, remaining elusively full of grace.
When asked for his name, he says, “Why? It’s too wonderful.”34
Not seduced by praise: “Worship the Lord,” he tells Manoah.
Manoah finally breaks free of his rigid human blindness,
At long last he’s able to see that this is a divine appearance.
