Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the man Elkanah and all his house went up to sacrifice to Jehovah a sacrifice of the days ,
and to vow his vow .
*
And Hannah did not go up ,
for she said to her husband ,
Until the child is weaned ,
then I will bring him ,
that he may appear before Jehovah and remain there forever .
*
And her husband Elkanah said to her ,
Do that which is good in your eyes .
Remain until you wean him .
Only ,
may Jehovah confirm His word .
And the woman remained ,
and suckled her son until she had weaned him .
*
And when she had weaned him ,
she brought him up with her ,
along with three bullocks ,
and one ephah of flour ,
and a skin of wine .
And she brought him to the house of Jehovah at Shiloh .
And the child was a young one .
*
And they slaughtered the bullock ,
and brought the boy to Eli .
*
And she said ,
O my lord ,
may your soul live !
My lord ,
I am the woman who stood with you here ,
to pray to Jehovah .
*
I prayed for this boy ,
and Jehovah has given my petition which I asked of Him to me .
*
And I also have loaned him to Jehovah ;
all the days which he shall be ,
he is loaned to Jehovah .
And he worshiped there before Jehovah .
