Theological / Devotional

The angel. This word is supplied, as indicated by the italics, which means that it has no corresponding form in the Hebrew. A different sentence structure is possible (see below).

Did wonderously. This is the same root word in Hebrew as that used to describe the name of the Angel. Inasmuch as the word is in the participial form, it may be better to apply it to “Lord,” making the passage read “offered upon the rock to Jehovah, the one working wonders” (see Ex. 15:11). The reference seems to be both to the wonder God was going to work in the birth of the promised child, as well as to the miraculous disappearance of the Angel in the fire (v. 20).
