How many faces did Eli see over the course of each festival? Three times a years the people would come. They would rush through the tabernacle; their sacrifices in tow. Most of them seeking his presence. They wanted the hands that sprinkled the blood on the mercy seat to rest with theirs upon the head of the lamb, or kid, or calf. Everyone knew he was the high priest. But there was no way Eli could remember every face or the name that went with it.
But when he noticed one set of parents walking toward him something rang familiar. The husband led the bull for the sacrifice and the wife followed with a healthy young boy. The length of his hair told him that the child was set apart for service to the LORD.
But did the names of Elkana and Hannah makes any sense to him?
