And Anna said: As the Lord my God liveth, if I beget either male or female, I will bring it as a gift to the Lord my God; and it shall minister to Him in holy things all the days of its life.[1 Samuel 1:11] And, behold, two angels came, saying to her: Behold, Joachim thy husband is coming with his flocks.
