and to Hannah he giveth a certain portion --
double ,

so as to make her tremble ,
for Jehovah hath shut up her womb .

and prayeth unto Jehovah ,
and weepeth greatly ,
ylt @

and voweth a vow ,
and saith , '
Jehovah of Hosts ,
if Thou dost certainly look on the affliction of Thy handmaid ,
and hast remembered me ,
and dost not forget Thy handmaid ,
and hast given to Thy handmaid seed of men --
then I have given him to Jehovah all days of his life ,
and a razor doth not go up upon his head .'

when she multiplied praying before Jehovah ,
that Eli is watching her mouth ,
ylt @
1Samuel:1:13 @
and Hannah ,
she is speaking to her heart ,
only her lips are moving ,
and her voice is not heard ,
and Eli reckoneth her to be drunken .

Until when are thou drunken ?
turn aside thy wine from thee .'

No ,
my lord ,
A woman sharply pained in spirit I [
am ],
and wine and strong drink I have not drunk ,
and I pour out my soul before Jehovah ;
ylt @
1Samuel:1:16 @
put not thy handmaid before a daughter of worthlessness ,
for from the abundance of my meditation ,
and of my provocation ,
I have spoken hitherto .'

Go in peace ,
and the God of Israel doth give thy petition which thou hast asked of Him .'

at the revolution of the days ,
that Hannah conceiveth ,
and beareth a son ,
and calleth his name Samuel , '
for ,
from Jehovah I have asked him .'
