I Samuel 1:26-28 lhynard December 5 2005, 04:36:05 UTC

And she said, "Pray! my lord, as lives your soul, my lord, I am the woman having stood with you in this place to pray to YHWH. For this boy I prayed, and YHWH gave me my request that I had asked from Him. So also I have lent him to YHWH; all the days that he will live, he is lent to YHWH."
And he bowed down4, 5 to YHWH there.4 or "worship"
5 One or several Qumran manuscripts read, "And she bowed down...".

There is a weird usage of sha'al in the hiphil here. I was not sure what to do with it, so I went with the NASB footnotes and said "lend".

My lexicon includes "lend" as a meaning for the Hiphil.

Don't you wonder if this story somehow got conflated with one about the origin of Saul's name?

I don't recall the story.

verses 26-28 talmida December 5 2005, 19:39:11 UTC

And she said, "With your permission, my lord, as you live, my lord I am the woman who was standing with you here (in this) to pray to the Lord.

For this boy I prayed and the Lord granted to me my request that I had asked from him.

Therefore, I have lent him to the Lord; for all the days that he has, he is lent to the Lord. And he (they?) bowed low there to the Lord.
