  1. 1And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.וְהַנַּ֧עַר שְׁמוּאֵ֛ל מְשָׁרֵ֥ת אֶת יְהוָ֖ה לִפְנֵ֣י עֵלִ֑י וּדְבַר יְהוָ֗ה הָיָ֤ה יָקָר֙ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם אֵ֥ין חָז֖וֹן נִפְרָֽץ
  2. 2And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;וַֽיְהִי֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא וְעֵלִ֖י שֹׁכֵ֣ב בִּמְקֹמ֑וֹ ועינו וְעֵינָיו֙ הֵחֵ֣לּוּ כֵה֔וֹת לֹ֥א יוּכַ֖ל לִרְאֽוֹת
  3. 3And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;וְנֵ֤ר אֱלֹהִים֙ טֶ֣רֶם יִכְבֶּ֔ה וּשְׁמוּאֵ֖ל שֹׁכֵ֑ב בְּהֵיכַ֣ל יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר שָׁ֖ם אֲר֥וֹן אֱלֹהִֽים
  4. 4That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.וַיִּקְרָ֧א יְהוָ֛ה אֶל שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל וַיֹּ֥אמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי
  5. 5And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.וַיָּ֣רָץ אֶל עֵלִ֗י וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הִנְנִי֙ כִּֽי קָרָ֣אתָ וַיֹּ֥אמֶר לֹֽא קָרָ֖אתִי שׁ֣וּב שְׁכָ֑ב וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ וַיִּשְׁכָּֽב
  6. 6And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.וַיֹּ֣סֶף יְהוָ֗ה קְרֹ֣א עוֹד֮ שְׁמוּאֵל֒ וַיָּ֤קָם שְׁמוּאֵל֙ וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ אֶל עֵלִ֔י וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הִנְנִ֔י כִּ֥י קָרָ֖אתָ וַיֹּ֛אמֶר לֹֽא קָרָ֥אתִי בְנִ֖י שׁ֥וּב שְׁכָֽב
  7. 7Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.וּשְׁמוּאֵ֕ל טֶ֖רֶם יָדַ֣ע אֶת יְהוָ֑ה וְטֶ֛רֶם יִגָּלֶ֥ה אֵלָ֖יו דְּבַר יְהוָֽה
  8. 8And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.וַיֹּ֨סֶף יְהוָ֥ה קְרֹא שְׁמוּאֵל֮ בַּשְּׁלִשִׁית֒ וַיָּ֨קָם֙ וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ אֶל עֵלִ֔י וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הִנְנִ֔י כִּ֥י קָרָ֖אתָ וַיָּ֣בֶן עֵלִ֔י כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה קֹרֵ֥א לַנָּֽעַר
  9. 9Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר עֵלִ֣י לִשְׁמוּאֵל֮ לֵ֣ךְ שְׁכָב֒ וְהָיָה֙ אִם יִקְרָ֣א אֵלֶ֔יךָ וְאָֽמַרְתָּ֙ דַּבֵּ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֥י שֹׁמֵ֖עַ עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל וַיִּשְׁכַּ֖ב בִּמְקוֹמֽוֹ
  10. 10And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.וַיָּבֹ֤א יְהוָה֙ וַיִּתְיַצַּ֔ב וַיִּקְרָ֥א כְפַֽעַם בְּפַ֖עַם שְׁמוּאֵ֣ל שְׁמוּאֵ֑ל וַיֹּ֤אמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל֙ דַּבֵּ֔ר כִּ֥י שֹׁמֵ֖עַ עַבְדֶּֽךָ
  11. 11And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל הִנֵּ֧ה אָנֹכִ֛י עֹשֶׂ֥ה דָבָ֖ר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אֲשֶׁר֙ כָּל שֹׁ֣מְע֔וֹ תְּצִלֶּ֖ינָה שְׁתֵּ֥י אָזְנָֽיו
  12. 12In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.בַּיּ֤וֹם הַהוּא֙ אָקִ֣ים אֶל עֵלִ֔י אֵ֛ת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי אֶל בֵּית֑וֹ הָחֵ֖ל וְכַלֵּֽה
  13. 13For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.וְהִגַּ֣דְתִּי כִּֽי שֹׁפֵ֥ט אֲנִ֛י אֶת בֵּית֖וֹ עַד עוֹלָ֑ם בַּעֲוֺ֣ן אֲשֶׁר יָדַ֗ע כִּֽי מְקַֽלְלִ֤ים בָּנָ֔יו וְלֹ֥א כִהָ֖ה
  14. 14And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.וְלָכֵ֥ן נִשְׁבַּ֖עְתִּי לְבֵ֣ית עֵלִ֑י אִֽם יִתְכַּפֵּ֞ר עֲוֺ֧ן בֵּית עֵלִ֛י בְּזֶ֥בַח וּבְמִנְחָ֖ה עַד עוֹלָֽם
  15. 15And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.וַיִּשְׁכַּ֤ב שְׁמוּאֵל֙ עַד הַבֹּ֔קֶר וַיִּפְתַּ֖ח אֶת דַּלְת֣וֹת בֵּית יְהוָ֑ה וּשְׁמוּאֵ֣ל יָרֵ֔א מֵהַגִּ֥יד אֶת הַמַּרְאָ֖ה אֶל עֵלִֽי
  16. 16Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.וַיִּקְרָ֤א עֵלִי֙ אֶת שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל וַיֹּ֖אמֶר שְׁמוּאֵ֣ל בְּנִ֑י וַיֹּ֖אמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי
  17. 17And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.וַיֹּ֗אמֶר מָ֤ה הַדָּבָר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֶּ֣ר אֵלֶ֔יךָ אַל נָ֥א תְכַחֵ֖ד מִמֶּ֑נִּי כֹּ֣ה יַעֲשֶׂה אֱלֹהִים֙ וְכֹ֣ה יוֹסִ֔יף אִם תְּכַחֵ֤ד מִמֶּ֨נִּי֙ דָּבָ֔ר מִכָּל הַדָּבָ֖ר אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּ֥ר אֵלֶֽיךָ
  18. 18And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.וַיַּגֶּד שְׁמוּאֵל֙ אֶת כָּל הַדְּבָרִ֔ים וְלֹ֥א כִחֵ֖ד מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וַיֹּאמַ֕ר יְהוָ֣ה ה֔וּא הַטּ֥וֹב בְּעֵינָ֖ו יַעֲשֶֽׂה
  19. 19And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.וַיִּגְדַּ֖ל שְׁמוּאֵ֑ל וַֽיהוָה֙ הָיָ֣ה עִמּ֔וֹ וְלֹֽא הִפִּ֥יל מִכָּל דְּבָרָ֖יו אָֽרְצָה
  20. 20And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.וַיֵּ֨דַע֙ כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִדָּ֖ן וְעַד שָׁ֑בַע כִּ֚י נֶאֱמָ֣ן שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל לְנָבִ֖יא לַיהוָֽה
  21. 21And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.וַיֹּ֥סֶף יְהוָ֖ה לְהֵרָאֹ֣ה בְשִׁלֹ֑ה כִּֽי נִגְלָ֨ה יְהוָ֧ה אֶל שְׁמוּאֵ֛ל בְּשִׁל֖וֹ בִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָֽה

YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
