1 Samuel 1:24
Douay-Rheims
And after she had weaned him, she carried him with her, with three calves, and three bushels of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord in Silo. Now the child was as yet very young:

Three calves. Septuagint, “a calf three years old,” such as Abraham sacrificed, Genesis xv. 9. We only find one offered up, ver. 25. — Bushels. Hebrew epha, (Calmet) each of which contained three bushels or measures, Ruth ii. 17. (Haydock) — Bottle. Hebrew nebel, a large measure containing above 87 pints. (Calmet) — The sacrifices seem to have been for thanksgiving, accompanied with an ephi for each calf, and with wine, Numbers xv., and Ezechiel xlvi. 7.
