Exegesis
The narrative uses the vav-consecutive Qal imperfect verb vayikach {וַיִּקַּ֨ח | wayyiqqāḥ} ‘and he took’ to introduce Manoah {מָנ֜וֹחַ | Mānōaḥ} ‘Manoah’ as the agent.
In context — Judges 13:19
And Manoah took the young goat and the grain offering, and offered them on the rock to the LORD ; and the LORD acted wondrously as Manoah and his wife watched.
