TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Vows to God

The essence of a vow to God is, “If God will do X, then I will dedicate Y” to God or his sanctuary. Examples include Jacob’s tithing (Gen 28:20-22), the Israelites’ dealing with the Canaanite spoils of war (Num 21:2), Hannah’s dedicating her son as a lifelong servant of the Lord (1 Sam 1:11), and Absalom’s sacrificing to God at Hebron (2 Sam 15:8).

Guidelines for vows are frequently mentioned in the sacrificial laws. Israelites made vows conditional upon God’s granting their requests. Then they would pay or fulfill their vows to God, often by giving offerings (e.g., Lev 7:16; 22:23; Deut 12:11).

However, vows could be abused. The law itself warns against this (Deut 23:21-23), as do the wisdom teachings (e.g., Prov 7:10-14; 20:25) and the books of the prophets (see, e.g., Jer 44:25). Saul was prone both to make foolish vows (1 Sam 14:24-28) and to not keep the vows he made (19:6). Impulsive vows might go unfulfilled and never paid, arousing God’s anger. Not making a vow is better than backing out of one (Eccl 5:3-5). Jesus counsels us not to make vows, but simply to keep our word (Matt 5:33-37; cp. Jas 5:12).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠כָל־בֵּית֑⁠וֹ

and=all household_of,his

The author is using the term house by association to mean Elkanah’s family. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and all of his family]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠כָל־בֵּית֑⁠וֹ

and=all household_of,his

The author is making an overstatement for emphasis. He means that most of Elkanah’s family went with him. The next verse explains that Hannah did not go with him on this occasion. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [and most of his family]

Note 3 topic: translate-plural

אֶת־זֶ֥בַח הַ⁠יָּמִ֖ים

DOM sacrifice_of the=days

As in [1:3](../01/03.md), the author is using the plural form days to mean a year. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the yearly sacrifice]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אֶת־נִדְרֽ⁠וֹ

and=DOM vow_of,his

See the discussion of the term vow here in the Introduction to this chapter. Alternate translation: [and a sacrifice that he had promised to make]
