(Occurrence 0) drew water and poured it out before Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: and,gathered the,Mizpah,at and,drew waters and,poured_~_out to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,fasted in_the=day (the)=that and=they_said there sinned to/for=YHWH and,judged Shəmūʼēl DOM sons_of Yisrael in/on/at/with,Mizpah )
This could mean: (1) the people denied themselves water as part of fasting or (2) they got water out of a stream or well and poured it on the ground as an outward sign of being sorry for their sin.
7:6 drew water . . . poured it out: This type of ceremony is not mentioned elsewhere in the Old Testament.
• At times Israelites went without food to express grief or to seek the Lord’s favor (2 Sam 1:12; 12:22-23; 1 Kgs 21:27; Ezra 8:21-23; Neh 9:1; Esth 4:3, 16; Joel 2:12; cp. Luke 2:37; Acts 13:2-3; 14:23).
• To have Samuel as Israel’s judge was refreshing compared to Eli’s failed leadership (see 1 Sam 4:18 and corresponding study note) and the leadership of some other judges (e.g., Gideon, Judg 8:22-27; Jephthah, Judg 11:30–12:7; and Samson, Judg 13:1–16:21).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
