Jump to Previous Boweth Caused Dedicated Lent Whole Worship Worshiped WorshippedJump to Next Boweth Caused Dedicated Lent Whole Worship Worshiped Worshipped1 Samuel 1 1.

Eli first rebuking her, afterwards blesses her 19. Hannah, having born Samuel, stays at home till he is weaned 24. She presents him, according to her vow, to the Lord Now I dedicate him to the LORD The Hebrew word for "dedicate" here is "שָׁאַל" (sha'al), which can also mean "to ask" or "to lend." This reflects the deep spiritual transaction taking place. Hannah is not merely giving Samuel to the LORD; she is fulfilling a vow made in faith. This act of dedication is a profound expression of trust and obedience, acknowledging that Samuel's life is a gift from God and thus belongs to Him. In the ancient Near Eastern context, dedicating a child to a deity was a significant act, often involving lifelong service. Hannah's dedication of Samuel is a testament to her faith and her understanding of God's sovereignty. For as long as he lives, he is dedicated to the LORD So they worshiped the LORD there 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.
