1 Samuel 1:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 1:4

And when the time was that Elkanah offered
That is, brought his offering to the priest, to offer it for him, which was at one of the three festivals. According to R. Joshua Ben Levi ^F6, this was at the time of Pentecost; but Abarbinel thinks it was at the time of the ingathering of the fruits of the earth, which was a time of rejoicing, even the feast of tabernacles, and which is most likely:

he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters,
portions;
parts of the offering, everyone a part, or portion; by which it appears, that this was a peace offering he offered, the greater part of which belonged to the owner, and which he made a feast of for his family and friends; see ( Deuteronomy 12:5-7 ) ( 16:10-15 ) . Jerom ^F7 interprets these portions of garments.

1 Samuel 1:4 In-Context

2 Ele tinha duas mulheres: uma se chamava Ana e a outra Penina. Penina tinha filhos; Ana, porém, não tinha.

3 Todos os anos esse homem subia de sua cidade a Siló para adorar e sacrificar ao SENHOR dos Exércitos. Lá, Hofni e Fineias, os dois filhos de Eli, eram sacerdotes do SENHOR.

4 No dia em que Elcana oferecia sacrifícios, dava porções à sua mulher Penina e a todos os filhos e filhas dela.

5 Mas a Ana dava uma porção dupla, porque a amava, apesar de o SENHOR tê-la deixado estéril.

6 E porque o SENHOR a tinha deixado estéril, sua rival a provocava continuamente, a fim de irritá-la.
