Whither Malchut Welcome to our Sixth in a continuing series on the book of Shmuel or Samuel and the founding of Jewish monarchy Episode 6. This week we cover chapter 3 which juxtaposes Shmuel’s ascent with Eli’s decline. We offer a unique reading of Shmuel’s sleep in the Mishkan and finally we ask why Shmuel’s first prophecy seems to be so inconsequential to Eli, to Shmuel and to us the reader? All this and more. Thanks for joining us and please consider sharing this recording with others. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/isaacson/support
