1 | How did Hannah decide to give up Samuel? | 1 Sam 1:11 | Katherine | 36991 | ||
Your comments are helpful in gaining perspective on her prayer. I am curious, however, how she came to see that giving up the gift she yearned for was the thing to do. I have tried to imagine what teaching she would have received that led her to this astonishing act. I can't find anything in the stories that precede her life that models such a choice. I did find the references where God claimed all the firstborn and required redemption for them. Is that part of the explanation? Or is it even bigger, referring to God's constant reminder that everything we receive is already his? Who taught her? Her mother? Priestly readings? | ||||||
2 | How did Hannah decide to give up Samuel? | 1 Sam 1:11 | tuli | 37002 | ||
She made a vow to God--She lent Samuel to God! And she had to keep it. All she wanted was to have seed from her, to be productive if you may. Her prayer in Ch. 2 is very prophetic. |

4 | How did Hannah decide to give up Samuel? | 1 Sam 1:11 | Emmaus | 37108 | ||
Searcher, I am sure the reference was to 1 Samuel 2:20. 18: Samuel was ministering before the LORD, a boy girded with a linen ephod. 19: And his mother used to make for him a little robe and take it to him each year, when she went up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 20: Then Eli would bless Elka'nah and his wife, and say, "The LORD give you children by this woman for the loan which she lent to the LORD"; so then they would return to their home. 21: And the LORD visited Hannah and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew in the presence of the LORD. Emmaus |

1 Samuel 1:28 "Therefore I have given him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is given to the Lord. And they worshiped the Lord there." (Amplified) ... is the reason I said she gave him. | ||||||
