And the child⁵²⁸⁸ Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ ministered⁸³³⁴ unto Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Eli.⁵⁹⁴¹ And the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was precious³³⁶⁸ in those days;³¹¹⁷ there was no open⁶⁵⁵⁵ vision.²³⁷⁷

And it came to pass at that time,³¹¹⁷ when Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ was laid down⁷⁹⁰¹ in his place,⁴⁷²⁵ and his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ began²⁴⁹⁰ to wax dim,³⁵⁴⁴ that he could³²⁰¹ not see;⁷²⁰⁰

And ere the lamp⁵²¹⁶ of Elohim⁴³⁰ went out³⁵¹⁸ in the temple¹⁹⁶⁴ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ where the ark⁷²⁷ of Elohim⁴³⁰ was, and Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ was laid down⁷⁹⁰¹ to sleep;

That Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ called⁷¹²¹ Samuel:⁸⁰⁵⁰ and he answered,⁵⁵⁹ Here am I.

And he ran⁷³²³ unto Eli,⁵⁹⁴¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Here am I;²⁰⁰⁹ for thou calledst⁷¹²¹ me. And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I called⁷¹²¹ not; lie down⁷⁹⁰¹ again.⁷⁷²⁵ And he went³²¹² and lay down.⁷⁹⁰¹

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ called⁷¹²¹ yet again,³²⁵⁴ Samuel.⁸⁰⁵⁰ And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went³²¹² to Eli,⁵⁹⁴¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Here am I; for thou didst call⁷¹²¹ me. And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ I called⁷¹²¹ not, my son;¹¹²¹ lie down⁷⁹⁰¹ again.⁷⁷²⁵

Now Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ did not yet²⁹⁶² know³⁰⁴⁵ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ neither²⁹⁶² was the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ yet revealed¹⁵⁴⁰ unto him.

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ called⁷¹²¹ Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ again³²⁵⁴ the third⁷⁹⁹² time. And he arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went³²¹² to Eli,⁵⁹⁴¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Here am I; for thou didst call⁷¹²¹ me. And Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ perceived⁹⁹⁵ that Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ had called⁷¹²¹ the child.⁵²⁸⁸

Therefore Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ Go,³²¹² lie down:⁷⁹⁰¹ and it shall be, if he call⁷¹²¹ thee, that thou shalt say,⁵⁵⁹ Speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ for thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ heareth.⁸⁰⁸⁵ So Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ went³²¹² and lay down⁷⁹⁰¹ in his place.⁴⁷²⁵

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ came,⁹³⁵ and stood,³³²⁰ and called⁷¹²¹ as at other times,⁶⁴⁷¹ Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ Samuel.⁸⁰⁵⁰ Then Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ answered,⁵⁵⁹ Speak;¹⁶⁹⁶ for thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ heareth.⁸⁰⁸⁵

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ Behold, I will do⁶²¹³ a thing¹⁶⁹⁷ in Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ at which both⁸¹⁴⁷ the ears²⁴¹ of every one that heareth⁸⁰⁸⁵ it shall tingle.⁶⁷⁵⁰

In that day³¹¹⁷ I will perform⁶⁹⁶⁵ against Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ all things which I have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ concerning⁴¹³ his house:¹⁰⁰⁴ when I begin,²⁴⁹⁰ I will also make an end.³⁶¹⁵

For I have told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him that I will judge⁸¹⁹⁹ his house¹⁰⁰⁴ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever⁵⁷⁶⁹ for the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ which he knoweth;³⁰⁴⁵ because his sons¹¹²¹ made themselves vile,⁷⁰⁴³ and he restrained³⁵⁴³ them not.

And therefore I have sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Eli,⁵⁹⁴¹ that the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of Eli's⁵⁹⁴¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall not be purged³⁷²² with sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ nor offering⁴⁵⁰³ for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ lay⁷⁹⁰¹ until the morning,¹²⁴² and opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸ And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ feared³³⁷² to shew⁵⁰⁴⁶ Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ the vision.⁴⁷⁵⁹

Then Eli⁵⁹⁴¹ called⁷¹²¹ Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ my son.¹¹²¹ And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ Here am I.

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ What is the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ that Yahweh hath said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thee? I pray thee hide³⁵⁸² it not from me: Elohim⁴³⁰ do⁶²¹³ so to thee, and more³²⁵⁴ also, if thou hide³⁵⁸² any thing¹⁶⁹⁷ from me of all the things¹⁶⁹⁷ that he said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thee.

And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him every whit,¹⁶⁹⁷ and hid³⁵⁸² nothing from him. And he said,⁵⁵⁹ It is Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ let him do⁶²¹³ what seemeth⁵⁸⁶⁹ him good.²⁸⁹⁶

And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ grew,¹⁴³¹ and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was with him, and did let none of his words¹⁶⁹⁷ fall⁵³⁰⁷ to the ground.⁷⁷⁶

And all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from Dan¹⁸³⁵ even to Beersheba⁸⁸⁴ knew³⁰⁴⁵ that Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ was established⁵³⁹ to be a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ again³²⁵⁴ in Shiloh:⁷⁸⁸⁷ for Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ revealed¹⁵⁴⁰ himself to Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ in Shiloh⁷⁸⁸⁷ by the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸
