Only may Yahweh fulfill his word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him. ²⁴ Then she brought him up with her when she had weaned him, along with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin^[b] of wine. She brought him to the house of Yahweh at Shiloh while the boy was still young.
