Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”
And the commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?
Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.
Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him.
But the Lord of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Awesome is God from his sanctuary; the God of Israel—he is the one who gives power and strength to his people. Blessed be God!
Then the Lord called Samuel, and he said, “Here I am!” and ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” So he went and lay down. And the Lord called again, “Samuel!” and Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.
