Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb! Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!

Listen, my son! Listen, my very own son! Listen, you who are the answer to my prayers!

“ Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!

“ Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the child of her womb? Even if these forget, yet I will not forget you.

Making a vow, she pleaded,“ Lord of Hosts, if You will take notice of Your servant’s affliction, remember and not forget me, and give Your servant a son, I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.”

I now give the boy to the Lord. For as long as he lives, he is given to the Lord.” Then he bowed in worship to the Lord there.
