1 Sam. 3:2      1 Sam. 3:4

First Samuel 3:3

and God's (Elohim's) lamp had not yet gone out. Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the Lord (Yahweh), where God's ark was also located. [Both the lamp and the ark are symbols of God's presence. In Lev. 24:1–4, instructions are given that the lamp should burn every night until dawn. What happens now takes place just before dawn because the lamp is still burning.]
