"When the child was weaned, Hannah took him with her along with a three-year-old bull, a measure of flour and a flask of wine, and she brought him to YAHWEH's house at Shiloh. The child was still young.
After they had slain the bull, they brought the child to Eli. Hannah exclaimed: 'Oh, my LORD, look! I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to YAHWEH. I asked for this child and YAHWEH granted me the favor I begged of HIM. I think YAHWEH is now asking for this child. As long as he lives, he belongs to YAHWEH.'
And they worshiped YAHWEH there." - 1 Samuel 1:24-28
The Campaign Tent With The Ark At Shiloh
(These pages depict for us the religious life of those days. The campaign tent which shelters the Ark is at Shiloh. There is no temple yet in Israel, so pilgrims bring their animals; and the father as head of the family and priest of his household sacrifices the victims. Only after David's time will the priests of Levi's tribe be the exclusive intermediaries between YAHWEH and HIS people.)
