“Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.”
“And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for the men despised the offering of Jehovah. ”
“The sin of the young men was very great before Yahweh; for the men despised the offering of Yahweh.”

“Wherefore the sin of the young men was exceeding great before the Lord: because they withdrew men from the sacrifice of the Lord.”
“And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.”
“Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.”

Thus the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for the men despised the offering of the LORD.
Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD, as a boy wearing a linen ephod.
And his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year when she would come up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, "May the LORD give you children from this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD." And they went to their own home.
