Footnote

c In her prayer, Hannah used expressions similar to those found in Moses’ writings. She obviously took time to meditate on the Scriptures. (Deut. 4:35; 8:18; 32:4, 39; 1 Sam. 2:2, 6, 7) Centuries later, Mary, the mother of Jesus, used words of praise that are very similar to those mentioned by Hannah.​—Luke 1:46-55.
