²⁶ Only the ^(A)holy things which you have, and your vowed offerings, you shall take and go to the place which the Lord chooses.

¹⁹ “All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you and your sons and daughters with you as an ordinance forever; ^(A)it is a covenant of salt forever before the Lord with you and your descendants with you.”

⁹ Every ^(A)offering^[a] of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be ^(B)his. ¹⁰ And every man’s ^[b]holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest shall be ^(C)his.’ ”

²¹ Now the man Elkanah and all his house ^(A)went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and his vow. ²² But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will ^(B)take him, that he may appear before the Lord and ^(C)remain there ^(D)forever.”

²³ So ^(E)Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the Lord ^[a]establish ^[b]His word.” Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

²⁴ Now when she had weaned him, she ^(F)took him up with her, with ^[c]three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to ^(G)the house of the Lord in Shiloh. And the child was young.

²¹ If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from ^(A)you, then you may slaughter from your herd and from your flock which the Lord has given you, just as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your gates as much as your heart desires.

¹⁷ You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain or your new wine or your oil, of the firstborn of your herd or your flock, of any of your offerings which you vow, of your freewill offerings, or of the ^[a]heave offering of your hand. ¹⁸ But you must eat them before the Lord your God in the place which the Lord your God chooses, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God in ^[b]all to which you put your hands.

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.

^6 (A)There you shall take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, your vowed offerings, your freewill offerings, and the ^(B)firstborn of your herds and flocks.
