11. ἄγγελος. The ὤφθη implies an objective vision. St Luke dwells more than any of the Evangelists on the ministry of angels, Luk 1:26, Luk 2:9; Luk 2:13; Luk 2:21, Luk 12:8, Luk 15:10, Luk 16:22, Luk 22:43, Luk 24:4; Luk 24:23, and frequently in the Acts. Compare the visions at the births of Isaac, Samson, and Samuel.

ἐκ δεξιῶν. i.e. on the South side. It was the propitious side, so to speak, Mar 16:5; Mat 25:33; and ib. Schöttgen, Hor. Hebr.

τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου. A small movable table of acacia wood overlaid with gold. See Exo 30:1-38; Exo 37:25; 1Ki 7:48. In Heb 9:4 the word may possibly mean ‘censer.’
