On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Manoah said unto the angel . . ., What is thy name?--Manoah's request elicited the most unequivocal proofs of the divinity of his supernatural visitor--in his name "secret" (in the Margin, "wonderful"), and in the miraculous flame that betokened the acceptance of the sacrifice.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Manoah's request was honestly meant and yet was denied. God told Moses his name ( Exod. iii. 13, 14 ), because there was a particular occasion for his knowing it, but here there was no occasion.
