²¹ Now the man Elkanah and all his house ^(A)went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and his vow.

³ This man went up from his city ^(A)yearly ^(B)to worship and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in ^(C)Shiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.

¹¹ then there will be the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. There you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, and all your choice offerings which you vow to the Lord.

¹⁵ And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, ^(A)choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether ^(B)the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of ^[a]the River, or ^(C)the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. ^(D)But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

¹⁹ For I have known him, in order ^(A)that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”
