Judges13:17
Jdg 13:17
Manoah then asked his name: שׁמך מי, lit., “Who is thy name?” מי inquires after the person; מה, the nature of quality (see Ewald, §325, a.). “For if thy word come to pass, we will do thee honour.” This was the reason why he asked after his name. כּבּד, to honour by presents, so as to show one’s self grateful (see Num 22:17, Num 22:37; Num 24:11).
