ExplanationCommentary
Verse 3. Angel, in human form. Some Protestants pretend that he was “the Son of God,” and yet (verse 16) they say, “he sought not his own honour, but God’s, whose messenger he was,” (Bible, 1603) in which they plainly contradict themselves, or else teach Arianism, as if the Son were not true God, and equal to his Father. Worthington.—The title of God, (Jehova) which is given to this angel, (verse 15, 21) is no proof that he was the Supreme Being. Calmet. 6:11.
