To You Who Only Live Your Life According To Your Own Sake Or People Around You
Do not wait until your downfall will hit you before committing your life to Hashem

In most cases people are only there because you have something to offer to them.

But the opposite is true with Hashem; is not like that at all.

“The Birth of Samuel”

There was a certain man from Ramathaim-zophim, from Mount Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, from the land of Ephraim.
1:1
He had two wives; one’s name was Hannah and the second’s name was Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
1:2
But to Hannah he gave a double portion, for he loved Hannah and Hashem had closed her womb.
:5
Her rival [Peninnah] provoked her again and again in order to irritate her, for Hashem had closed her womb.
:6
She made a vow and said, “Hashem, Master of Legions, if You take note of the suffering of Your servant, and You remember me, and do not forget Your maidservant, and give Your maidservant male offspring, then I shall give him to Hashem all the days of his life, and a razor shall not come upon his head.”
:11
Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of aggrieved spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, and I have poured out my soul before Hashem.
:15
Eli then answered and said, “Go in peace. The God of Israel will grant the request you have made of Him.”
:17
… Hashem remembered her.
:19
And it happened with the passage of the period of days that Hannah had conceived, and she gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, for [she said,] “I requested him from Hashem.”
:20
This is the child that I prayed for; Hashem granted me my request that I asked of Him.
:27
Furthermore, I have dedicated him to Hashem — all the days that he lives he is dedicated to Hashem. “He then prostrated himself to Hashem.
:28

1 And there was one man from Ramathaim Zophim, from Mt. Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah and the name of the second was Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
3 And that man was wont to go up from his city from appointed time to appointed time, to prostrate himself and to slaughter (peace offerings) to the Lord of Hosts in Shiloh, and there the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinhas, were serving the Lord.
4 And when it was the day, and Elkanah slaughtered (peace offerings), and he would give to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters portions.
5 And to Hannah he would give one choice portion, for he loved Hannah, and the Lord had shut up her womb.
6 And her rival would frequently anger her, in order to make her complain, for the Lord had shut up her womb.
7 And so he would do year by year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, so she would anger her, and she wept and would not eat.
8 And Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
9 And Hannah arose after eating and after drinking, and Eli the priest was sitting on the chair beside the doorpost of the Temple of the Lord.
10 And she was bitter in spirit, and she prayed to the Lord, and wept.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said: to Lord of Hosts, if You will look upon the affliction of Your bondswoman, and You will remember me, and You will not forget Your bondswoman and You will give Your bondswoman a man-child, and I shall give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.
12 And it was, as she prayed long before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth.
13 But Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, and her voice was not heard, and Eli thought her to be a drunken woman.
14 And Eli said to her: Until when will you be drunk? Throw off your wine from upon yourself.
15 And Hannah answered and said: No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit, and neither new wine nor old wine have I drunk, and I poured out my soul before the Lord.
16 Deliver not your bondswoman before the unscrupulous woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and my vexation have I spoken until now.
17 And Eli answered and said: Go in peace, and the God of Israel will grant your request which you have asked of Him.
18 And she said: May your bondswoman find favor in your eyes; and the woman went on her way and ate, and her face was not (sad) anymore.
19 And they arose early in the morning, and prostrated themselves before the Lord: and they returned and came to their house, to Ramah, and Elkanah knew Hannah, his wife, and the Lord remembered her.
20 And it was, when the time came about, after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, because (she said); “I asked him of the Lord.”
21 And the man, Elkanah and his entire household, went up to slaughter to the Lord, the sacrifice of the days and his vow.
22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband: “Until the child is weaned, then I shall bring him, and he shall appear before the Lord, and abide there forever.
23 And Elkanah her husband said to her: “Do what seems good to you. Stay until you have weaned him, only, may the Lord fulfill His word.” And the woman stayed and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
24 And she brought him with her when she had weaned him, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and an earthenware jug of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord, to Shiloh, and the child was young.
25 And they slaughtered the bull, and they brought the child to Eli.
26 And she said, “Please, my lord! As surely as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here with you, to pray to the Lord.
27 For this child did I pray, and the Lord granted me my request, which I asked of Him.
28 And I also have lent him to the Lord; all the days which he will be alive, he is borrowed by the Lord.” And he prostrated himself there to the Lord.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
