Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect wayyaʿal {וַיַּ֥עַל | wayyaʿal} ‘offered up’ combines with the prepositional phrase ʿal-hā-ṣûr {עַל־הַצּ֖וּר | ʿal-hā-ṣûr} ‘upon the rock’ and the dative la-YHWH {לַֽיהוָ֑ה | la-YHWH} ‘to the LORD’, marking the divine recipient of the sacrifice.
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.
