The LORD calls Samuel, who had laid down in the LORD’s temple

여호와께서 여호와의 전 안에 누운 사무엘을 부르심

1 Samuel 3:1–10: the child Samuel ministers to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word is rare in those days. There are not many visions, then. At that time, when Eli is laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see), and God’s lamp hasn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was, the LORD calls Samuel. He says, “Here I am.” He runs to Eli and says, “Here I am; for you called me.” He says, “I didn’t call. Lie down again.” He goes and lies down. The LORD calls yet again, “Samuel!” Samuel arises and goes to Eli and says, “Here I am; for you called me.” He answers, “I didn’t call, my son. Lie down again.” Now Samuel doesn’t yet know the LORD, neither is the LORD’s word yet revealed to him. The LORD calls Samuel again the third time. He arises and goes to Eli and says, “Here I am; for you called me.” Eli perceives that the LORD had called the child. Therefore Eli says to Samuel, “Go, lie down. It shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD; for your servant hears.’” So Samuel goes and lies down in his place. The LORD comes, and stands, and calls as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel says, “Speak; for your servant hears.” The Korean Revised Version names no speaker at 3:5, 3:6 and 3:9, and gives the words of the LORD’s call only at 3:10.
