The prophet had said he would arrive after seven days to make the proper sacrifices to the Lord. We aren't told the significance of this seven-day period; maybe Samuel knew he would be coming from a distant place where his presence was needed.
Sinabi ng propeta ya siya ay darating pagkatapos ng pitong araw para maghandog ng handog sa Panginoon. Hindi tayo napagsabihan ng kahalagahan ng pitong-araw na panahong ito; maaring alam ni Samuel na siya ay mangangaling sa malayo ay ang kanyang presensiya ay kailangan.
