2 Then it happened that, on a certain day, Eli was lying in his place. And his eyes had dimmed, so that he was unable to see.
3 And so, to prevent the lamp of God from going out, Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
4 And the Lord called Samuel. And responding, he said, 'Here I am.'
5 And he ran to Eli, and he said, 'Here I am. For you called me.' And he said: 'I did not call. Return and sleep.' And he went away, and he slept.
6 And again, the Lord continued to call to Samuel. And rising up, Samuel went to Eli, and he said: 'Here I am. For you called me.' And he responded: 'I did not call you, my son. Return and sleep.'
