וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Samuel said, Has Jehovah delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, As in hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, Attention than the fat of rams.

And Jehovah said to Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided me a king among his sons.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Samuel said, How shall I go? if Saul hear [ergänzt: it], he will kill me. And Jehovah said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah.

And it came to pass when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah's anointed is before him.

וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (יֹּ֕אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

But Jehovah said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him; for it is not as man seeth; for man looketh upon the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh upon the heart.
