*
Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow .
*
But Hannah did not go up ,
for she said to her husband , "
Not until the child is weaned ;
then I will take him ,
that he may appear before the LORD and remain there forever ."
*
So Elkanah her husband said to her , "
Do what seems best to you ;
wait until you have weaned him .
Only let the LORD establish His word ."
Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him .
*
Now when she had weaned him ,
she took him up with her ,
with three bulls ,
one ephah of flour ,
and a skin of wine ,
and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh .
And the child was young .
*
Then they slaughtered a bull ,
and brought the child to Eli .
*
And she said , "
O my lord !
As your soul lives ,
my lord ,
I am the woman who stood by you here ,
praying to the LORD .
*
For this child I prayed ,
and the LORD has granted me my petition which I asked of Him .
*
Therefore I also have lent him to the LORD ;
as long as he lives he shall be lent to the LORD ."
So they worshiped the LORD there .
