Teaching Points The Power of a VowHannah's account teaches us the seriousness of making vows to God. When we make commitments, we should be prepared to fulfill them, trusting in God's faithfulness. Dedication to God Just as Hannah dedicated Samuel, we are called to dedicate our lives and the lives of our children to God's service. This involves intentional teaching and modeling of faith. Worship as a Response Hannah's act of worship after dedicating Samuel reminds us that worship is a fitting response to God's faithfulness and blessings in our lives. Faith in Action Hannah's faith was not passive; it was demonstrated through her actions. Our faith should likewise be active, leading us to trust and obey God in tangible ways. God's Sovereignty and Timing Hannah's account illustrates that God's timing is perfect. We can trust Him to answer our prayers in His way and time, for His purposes.(28) I have lent him to the Lord.--The rendering of the Hebrew here, "I have lent," and in Exodus 12:36, is false. The translation should run: "Therefore I also make him one asked of the Lord; all the days that he liveth he is asked of the Lord." The sense is: "The Lord gave him to me, and now I have returned him whom I obtained by prayer to the Lord, as one asked or demanded." And he worshipped the Lord there.--"He," that is, the boy Samuel: thus putting his own child-seal to his mother's gift of himself to God. Verse 28. - I have lent him. The word lent spoils the meaning: Hannah really in these two verses uses the same verb four times, though in different conjugations, and the same sense must be maintained throughout. Her words are, "For this child I prayed, and Jehovah hath given me my asking which I asked of him: and I also have given back what was asked to Jehovah; as long as he liveth he is asked for Jehovah." The conjugation translated to give back what was asked literally means to make to ask, and so to give or lend anything asked. The sense here requires the restoration by Hannah of what she had prayed for (comp. Exodus 12:35, 36), but which she had asked not for herself, but that she might devote it to Jehovah's service. At the end of ver. 28 the sing. "he worshipped" is rendered in the pl. by all the versions except the Sept., which omits it. But he, i.e. Elkanah, includes all his household, and it may be correctly translated in the pl., because the sense so requires, without altering the reading of the Hebrew. In the sing. it puts an unnecessary difficulty in the way of the ordinary reader.
