1 Samuel 1:19

1:19 They got up early the next morning and after worshiping the Lord, they returned to their home at Ramah. Elkanah had marital relations with ¹  his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered ²  her.

Matthew 27:57

Jesus’ Burial

27:57 Now ³  when it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. ⁴ 

[1:19]  ¹ tn Heb “Elkanah knew his wife.” The Hebrew expression is a euphemism for sexual relations.

[1:19]  ² sn The Lord “remembered” her in the sense of granting her earlier request for a child. The Hebrew verb is often used in the OT for considering the needs or desires of people with favor and kindness.

[27:57]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[27:57]  ⁴ sn Though some dispute that Joseph of Arimathea was a disciple of Jesus, his actions regarding Jesus’ burial suggest otherwise.
