21 Then Elkanah (God has possessed) and all his house went up to make the annual sacrifice to the LORD {YHWH} and to fulfill his vow,

22 but Hannah (grace) did not go. “After the boy is weaned,” she said to her husband, “I will take him to appear before the LORD {YHWH} and to stay there permanently [I will offer him as a Nazirite for all time.].”

23 “Do what you think is best,” her husband Elkanah (God has possessed) replied, “and stay here until you have weaned him. Only may the LORD {YHWH} confirm His word [your word].” So Hannah stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
