1Samuel:1:21-28
nsb@1Samuel:1:21 @ The time came again for Elkanah and his family to go to Shiloh and offer to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice and the special sacrifice he promised.
nsb@1Samuel:1:22 @ This time Hannah did not go. She told her husband: As soon as the child is weaned, I will take him to the Temple of Jehovah, where he will stay all his life.
nsb@1Samuel:1:23 @ Elkanah answered: »All right, do what seems best to you. Stay at home until you have weaned him. May Jehovah make your promise come true.« So Hannah stayed at home and nursed her child.
nsb@1Samuel:1:24 @ After she weaned him she took him to Shiloh. She also took a three-year-old bull, a bushel of flour, and a leather bag full of wine. She took Samuel, young as he was, to the Temple of Jehovah at Shiloh.
nsb@1Samuel:1:25 @ First they slaughtered the bull. Then they took the child to Eli the priest.
nsb@1Samuel:1:26 @ Hannah said to him: »My lord. Do you remember me? I am the woman you saw standing here, praying to Jehovah.
nsb@1Samuel:1:27 @ »I asked him for this child. He gave me what I asked of him.
nsb@1Samuel:1:28 @ »So I am dedicating him to Jehovah. As long as he lives, he will belong to Jehovah.« Then they worshiped Jehovah there.
