As the sun sets each evening, our vision is lessened. Night vision doesn't hold a candle to what we can see in daylight. Young Samuel and the old priest Eli live in an era when the word of the Lord was precious, but rare. There is "no frequent vision." Today as well there often seems to be no word or vision.
When Eli finally realizes the source of the voices Samuel keeps hearing in the night, he tells Samuel to say, "Speak, for your servant hears." When Samuel does, God breaks the silence.
