    1 The child Samuel ministered to Yahweh before Eli. The word of Yahweh was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.

    2 It happened at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),

    3 and the lamp of God hadn't yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down [to sleep], in the temple of Yahweh, where the ark of God was;

    4 that Yahweh called Samuel; and he said, "Here I am."

    5 He ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He said, "I didn't call; lie down again." He went and lay down.

    6 Yahweh called yet again, "Samuel!" Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." He answered, "I didn't call, my son; lie down again."

    7 Now Samuel didn't yet know Yahweh, neither was the word of Yahweh yet revealed to him.

    8 Yahweh called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am; for you called me." Eli perceived that Yahweh had called the child.
