"And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And the angel of the Lord said unto him,.... Being so importunate, and pressing upon him: why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret? and not to
be known; as his nature and essence as a divine Person, which may be meant by his name, is what passes knowledge, is infinite and incomprehensible; see Pro 30:4 or "wonderful" (p); which is one of the names of Christ, and fitly agrees with him, who is wonderful in his person, as God and man; in his incarnation, in his offices and relations, in his love to his people, and in all he is unto them, and has done for them; See Gill on Isa 9:6 . (p) Sept. "mirabile", V. L. Montanus; "mirificus", Junius & Tremellius.
