What is the Difference between Interpretation and Application?
           Interpretation and application are significant concepts in the field of hermeneutics that have raised controversy among readers and scholars. Interpretation refers to the action of explaining the meaning of a text to understand it. It gives a clear understanding of God's message through human authors intended to pass to his people. In explaining this concept, Witherington III (2015) asserted that a biblical text must be interpreted according to the plain meaning conveyed by its historical and literal contexts. The literal meaning corresponds to the author's intention.
In contrast, the application is practicing what the reader has interpreted. Applying the teachings of the Bible indicates that a person has read and understood the text (Witherington III, 2015). For instance, the Bible teaches humans to love God and their neighbors as the two greatest commandments. Leaving by these commandments shows their application in daily life. Therefore, it is worth noting that although interpretation and application are different, they have a nexus. That is to say; a reader must first understand the scripture before putting it into operation.

The passage also teaches that God's delivering power can come unexpectedly, not with a mighty army but with one man.
