1Now there was a certain man of Ramatayim-Tzofim [double height of the watchers], of mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], and his name [was] Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession], the son of Yerocham [showing pity], the son of Elihu [He is my God], the son of Tochu [lowly], the son of Tzuf [honeycomb], an Efrat [ashiness: fruitfulness]: 2And he had two wives; the name of the one [was] Hannah [grace], and the name of the other P’ninah [jewel]: and P’ninah [jewel] had children, but Hannah [grace] had no children.

3And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] in Shiloh [Place of Rest]. And the two sons of ‘Eli [ascension], Hofni [fighter] and Pinchas [mouth of brass], the priests of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [were] there. 4And when the time was that Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession] offered, he gave to P’ninah [jewel] his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: 5But unto Hannah [grace] he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah [grace]: but the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had shut up her womb. 6And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her be troubled (be grieved; be displeased), because the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had shut up her womb. 7And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. 8Then said Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession] her husband to her, Hannah [grace], why weep youⁱ? and why eat youⁱ not? and why is youⁱ heart grieved? [am] not I better to youⁱ than ten sons?

9So Hannah [grace] rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh [Place of Rest], and after they had drunk. Now ‘Eli [ascension] the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 10And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and wept sore. 11And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], if youⁱ will indeed look on the affliction of youⁱ female servant, and remember me, and not forget youⁱ female servant, but will give unto youⁱ female servant a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

12And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that ‘Eli [ascension] marked her mouth. 13Now Hannah [grace], she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore ‘Eli [ascension] thought she had been drunken. 14And ‘Eli [ascension] said unto her, How long will youⁱ be drunken? put away youⁱ wine from youⁱ. 15And Hannah [grace] answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 16Count not youⁱ female servant for a daughter of Belial [Worthless, Good for Nothing]: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken up to this time. 17Then ‘Eli [ascension] answered and said, Go in peace: and the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] grant [youⁱ] youⁱ petition that youⁱ have asked of him. 18And she said, Let yourⁱ female servant find grace in yourⁱ sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor) was no more [sad].

19And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and returned, and came to their house to Ramah [Hill]: and Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession] knew Hannah [grace] his wife; and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) remembered her. 20For what reason it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah [grace] had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Sh’mu’el [His name is El], [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

21And the man Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession], and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 22But Hannah [grace] went not up; for she said unto her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned, and [then] I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and there abide forever. 23And Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession] her husband said unto her, Do what seems youⁱ good; wait until youⁱ have weaned him; only the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him. 24And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one eifah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in Shiloh [Place of Rest]: and the child [was] young. 25And they killed a bullock, and brought the child to ‘Eli [ascension]. 26And she said, Oh my lord, [as] youⁱ soul lives, my lord, I [am] the woman that stood by youⁱ here, praying unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 27For this child I prayed; and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has given me my petition which I asked of him: 28Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); as long as he lives he shall be lent to the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). And he worshipped the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) there.
