  2. Exposition

What type of prayer was Manoah’s?

Judges 13:8 (ESV)

8 Then Manoah prayed to the LORD and said, “O Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us and teach us what we are to do with the child who will be born.”

The verb translated as prayed carries the sense of pleading, as it does when appearing in the same form elsewhere (see Genesis 25:21; Exodus 8:26; Exodus 8:26; Job 33:26).1
