⁴ So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called ^(A)to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”

And he said, “Here I am.”

⁴ Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, ^(A)why are you persecuting Me?”

⁸ And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.”

Then Eli perceived that the Lord had called the boy.

⁶ Then the Lord called yet again, “Samuel!”

So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.”
