Repent therefore and turn back, that your sins may be wiped away, in order that seasons of relaxation may come from the presence of the Lord,

whom it is necessary [for] heaven to receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

But now the righteousness of God apart from the law has been revealed, being witnessed to by the Law and the Prophets,

And after these things, [for] about four hundred and fifty years, He gave [them] judges until [the time of] Samuel the prophet.

And Samuel ministered before the Lord, a child wearing a linen ephod.

And the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli the priest. And the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no distinct vision.

And all Israel knew, from Dan even to Beersheba, that Samuel was faithful as a prophet to the Lord.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His name; they called upon the Lord, and He heard them.

And the Lord said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before My face, My soul could not be toward them: dismiss this people, and let them go forth.
