וַיִּקַּ֣ח שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל טְלֵ֤ה חָלָב֙ אֶחָ֔ד ויעלה [וַיַּעֲלֵ֧הוּ] עוֹלָ֛ה כָּלִ֖יל לַֽיהוָ֑ה וַיִּזְעַ֨ק שְׁמוּאֵ֤ל אֶל־יְהוָה֙ בְּעַ֣ד יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֖הוּ יְהוָֽה׃
撒母耳取了一隻還在吃奶的羊羔，把牠整個獻給永恆者作燔祭。撒母耳為以色列向永恆者呼求，永恆者就應允了他。
Rashi
And offered it all as a burnt offering. The כְּתִיב is 'וַיַעֲלֶהָ' because it was a female.8Although the קְרִי is in the male form. From here our Rabbis deduced that a female animal is acceptable as a burnt offering on a private altar.9
