| Summary: | It is suggested that the difficult phrase Samuel 1:5 should be interpreted with the help of comparative religion in stead of looking for philological and other solutions. In some African tribes a special part of the sacrificial animal is sometimes given to a special member of the sacrificing community. I Samuel 1:5 may reflect traces of a similar practice. Reading the text against such a cultural background makes perfect sense and no changes to the text is needed. |
