This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_13:18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it [is] secret?
Ver. 18. Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?] Or, Wonderful, that is, incomprehensible. I am called as I am called; but such is thy weakness, that it surpasseth thy conception. So Bede, Victorinus, and others expound it. God, as he surmounteth all creatures, so he surpasseth all notion, all name. Afri vocant Deum ignotum Amon, idest, Heus tu quis es! {a} Christ, not only as God, but as Mediator also, is called Wonderful. {Isa_9:6}
{a} Plutarch, lib. De Iside et Osiride.
