Commentaries on Judges 6:18
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18And bring forth my present - My minchah ; generally an offering of bread, wine, oil, flour, and such like. It seems from this that Gideon supposed the person to whom he spoke to be a Divine person.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 17-3218. Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I ... bring forth my present--Hebrew, my mincha, or "meat offering"; and his idea probably was to prove, by his visitor's partaking of the entertainment, whether or not he was more than man.Read the comment
