This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_13:22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Ver. 22. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die.] The most valiant Gideon said as much in effect. {Jdg_6:22} This opinion grew, as it is thought, from the misunderstanding of that text, "There shall no man see me, and live." {Exo_33:20} But albeit we cannot see God in his majesty; yet Jacob, Moses, and others have seen some simulacra vel species, whereby he hath made himself visible to them; they have seen the chariot in which God rode, but not the rider, as the Rabbis express it. {a}
