And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
All Commentaries on Judges 13:22 Go To Judges 13
Gregory the Theologian
AD 390
Must you not show respect for Manoah, the Old Testament judge.… Manoah was overwhelmed by the sight of God in a vision. “Wife,” he said, “we are lost, we have seen God”—meaning by this that even a vision of God is too much for human beings, let alone God’s nature.
