And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh—the gifts (bull for sacrifice, flour for grain offering, wine for libation) constitute a complete offering. The *ephah* (a dry measure) and the *hin* (wine measure) are precise liturgical quantities, indicating Hannah's scrupulosity and the gravity of her dedication.
