    "en": "An English translation of the four chapters of 1 Samuel that the Raëlian canon cites, translated as whole chapters: **1 Samuel 3** (YHWH calls Shemu'el (Samuel) in the night), **1 Samuel 5–6** (the ark of the Elohim among the Pelishtim (Philistines), the plague, and its return to Beit-Shemesh) and **1 Samuel 17** (David and Golyat (Goliath)). The rest of the book is not translated.\n\nSource: Sefaria v3 API, Tanach with Ta'amei Hamikra (Westminster Leningrad Codex base, Public Domain); Ketiv/Qere sites translate the Qere and are noted. Reference translation: ASV (1901). Proper names are transliterated from the Hebrew, as in the Kings volumes, with the English form in each chapter title. At 1 Sam 6:18 the line reads 'the great stone' with some Hebrew manuscripts and the ancient versions, the one departure from the Masoretic text, noted in the verse."
