Prayer and Study Guide Daily Scripture Readings — 5/12/19
Prayer and Study Guide Daily Scripture Readings — 5/12/19 Monday – Read I Samuel 1:1-8. Barrenness and Infertility. Hannah means charming, attractive, favor, or grace which suggests her role as the wife Elkanah loves. Peninnah means fertile or prolific which suggests her role as a childbearer. This created tension and pain in this family. Hannah stuggled with barrenness and infertility. Elkanah is a kind and well intentioned husband. He loves Hannah and tries to treat her with care, but he is also a bit self-centered. He does not tell Hannah that she is worth more to him than ten sons. Both Elkanah and Peninnah view Hannah’s infertility as a sign that God has rejected her, but God’s response to Hannah will prove this to be a premature judgment. If you struggle with infertility, there is great comfort in knowing that so many holy people wrestled with infertility: Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Rachel, and Zechariah and Elizabeth. God loved them deeply and eventually answered their prayers and blessed them with children. Pray for couples who are struggling with infertility. Tuesday – Read I Samuel 1:9-18 and Luke 11:9-13. Hannah’s Persistent Prayer. Hannah presented her struggle against infertility to the Lord. She poured herself out to the Lord and asked God to see her misery and remember her. She asked God to give her a son, and she had faith that God would hear her prayer. She promised to dedicate this son to religious service. Hannah admits to Eli that she is a deeply troubled woman which might be better translated as hard, obstinate or stubborn of spirit.

Negating the Mother & the Maternal Body in the Hebrew Bible
AKADEMIN FÖR UTBILDNING OCH EKONOMI Avdelningen för humaniora Negating the mother & the maternal body in the Hebrew Bible From Eve to Sarah, Rachel and Hannah Terese Norstedt Hedman 2016 Uppsats, Grundnivå (kandidatexamen), 15 hp Religionsvetenskap RVG801 Handledare: Mayvor Ekberg Examinator: Peder Thalén Abstract: The purpose of this study has been to examine and identify a negation of the mother and the maternal body within the Hebrew Bible. The starting point has been an understanding of a denial of feminine powers related to reproduction and women being primarily presented as vessels for paternity. A selection of biblical narratives was made to elucidate this negation through the structure of the texts by using an interdisciplinary method which combines a feminist hermeneutic with Russian Formalism. Previous feminist theologies like that of Ilana Pardes, Phyllis Trible and Esther Fuchs have assisted in highlighting the presentations of the mother and her role in the texts. Formalism has allowed a rejection of authorial context and intent; the study is synchronic, i.e. focus is on the text and its internal structures. Upon examination, the narratives have shown that the mother’s textual life span is chiefly limited to achieving maternity, but that as a mother she is in secondary position to the father, has no creative powers of her own, and lacks parental rights. The maternal body is entirely excluded from the Creation narratives, it is the sole reason for infertility, and it is rigidly controlled by the Father-God. Search Words: feminist theology, biblical mothers, barrenness, creative power, patriarchy Contents 1.

Session 6 Hannah: Trust- Filled Prayer
SESSION 6 HANNAH: TRUST- FILLED PRAYER The Point Christ-centered living chooses prayer, not hopelessness. The Passage 1 Samuel 1:9-11,17-18,26-28; 2:1-3 The Bible Meets Life Diet and exercise. That remains the primary formula for weight loss. Of course, other medical reasons will sometimes explain why someone might be overweight. But for the vast majority of us, if we want to drop a few pounds, it comes down to diet and exercise. If the formula is that simple, why do so many of us struggle with healthy living? Beyond the other medical reasons, we can only assume that our ongoing struggle is not because we don’t know what to do, but because we fail to put into practice what we know. Prayer is like that. We know we ought to pray; we know we need to pray. But despite all the exhortations and commands, we often fail to put into practice what we know we should be doing. For Christians, prayer must become second nature to us because the alternative to choosing a consistent and ongoing prayer life is choosing, by default, to live with a sense of hopelessness. Hannah, the mother of Samuel, showed us what it looks like to come to God with our needs and trust Him to act on our behalf. The Setting Elkanah, of the tribe of Ephraim, had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Hannah bore no children, but Peninnah did. Elkanah made a yearly pilgrimage to Shiloh to offer sacrifices. He gave portions of the remaining sacrificial meat to Peninnah and her children, but he gave double amounts to Hannah as expressions of his love in spite of her childlessness.

Elkanah 1 Samuel 1-2 by Bob Young
Elkanah 1 Samuel 1-2 By Bob Young Introduction 1 Samuel 1—with Samuel as the lead character, on our way to David. Samuel becomes the foremost leader of Israel after Moses/Joshua and before David. Samuel is the bearer of God’s word (3:19-21), the administrator of justice (7:17), and is responsible for much of the life of Israel. As we come to this chapter, it is clear that we must not hurry to David. The narrative of Samuel’s birth and youth (ch. 1-3) is a single literary unit. Analyzing this section, we see at the center the Song of Hannah [1:1-28; 2:1-10; 2:11-4:1a]. Every assertion from Samuel’s birth (1:3-28) to the dream theophany (3:1-10) to the authorization of Samuel (3:19- 21) shows Yahweh at the center of Israel. All are creatures of God’s sovereignty and agents of God’s future. As we begin the book, Israel is waiting, a marginal community, marginalized by the power and pressure of the Philistines, politically weak, economically disadvantaged. There is also a moral and theological dimension to Israel’s problems--moral chaos (cf. end of Judges), undisciplined religion, brutality. To solve this problem, we move behind the great men, and locate the origin of Israel’s future and the source of its “great leaders” in the family of Elkanah, specifically in noting a bereft, barren wife named Hannah. This is an Ephraimite family, a solid pedigree, but the mother is barren with no prospect of children.

Texts: Malachi 3:1-4; Luke 1:68-79; Philippians 1:3-11; Luke3:1-6
Texts: Malachi 3:1-4; Luke 1:68-79; Philippians 1:3-11; Luke3:1-6 Advent begins new year in the church and for most of the coming year we are going to read the gospel of Luke. Beginnings are important, and Luke begins with the story of the angel Gabriel foretelling the amazing birth of a baby boy, who is destined for great things in the story of salvation. This birth is remarkable not because the boy’s mother is a virgin, but because she is old. She is Elizabeth, the wife of Zechariah, a priest in the temple. Hers is a story that we find throughout the Bible – the story of a woman who thought that she could not have a child, but who then finds out that she will give birth to a very special son. The story of Elizabeth and Zechariah reminds us of Sarah and Abraham, whose son Isaac was the heir to God’s promise. It reminds us of the story of Hannah and Elkanah, whose son Samuel was dedicated to God’s work. This time, here in Luke’s story, Zechariah, like Abraham, prays for what seems to be impossible. So Gabriel comes to bring the good news that his prayer has been answered and that he and Elizabeth will have a son, whose name is to be John. But Zechariah, like Abraham and Sarah, doesn’t actually believe that the answer is yes, and he questions the angel. Gabriel responds by taking away Zechariah’s voice, striking him mute, unable to speak.

Shmuel, Chapter 1: 1 . and There Was One Man from Ramathaim Zophim
Shmuel, Chapter 1: .1 And there was one man from Ramathaim Zophim, from Mt. Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. .2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah and the name of the second was Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. .3 And that man was wont to go up from his city from appointed time to appointed time, to prostrate himself and to slaughter (peace offerings) to the Lord of Hosts in Shiloh, and there the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinhas, were serving the Lord. .4 And when it was the day, and Elkanah slaughtered (peace offerings), and he would give to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters portions. .5 And to Hannah he would give one choice portion, for he loved Hannah, and the Lord had shut up her womb. .6 And her rival would frequently anger her, in order to make her complain, for the Lord had shut up her womb. .7 And so he would do year by year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, so she would anger her, and she wept and would not eat. .8 And Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons"? .9 And Hannah arose after eating and after drinking, and Eli the priest was sitting on the chair beside the doorpost of the Temple of the Lord.

Praise Him for Peninnah 1 Samuel 1:1-18
PRAISE HIM FOR PENINNAH 1 SAMUEL 1:1-18 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. And he had two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. This man went up from his city yearly to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there. And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the LORD had closed her womb. And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the LORD had closed her womb. So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat. Then Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?" ,So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the LORD.
