In 1 Samuel 1:24, Hannah brought to the Lord three offerings: 3 year old bull (or three young bulls in Masoretic Text), an ephah of flour (enough to make pancake for one man to eat months if not a year), and a skin of wine.
Why did she bring? Hebrew 10 answers the question. (Bull - sin and peace offering; flour - Jesus' body; wine - His blood)
On his own no human beings, no matter how clean, can come to God for his use.
In Jesus then each believer is given a second chance to repent and turn to Him by faith, for His use, just as John the Baptist declared, "Repent and believe in the good news for the kingdom of God is near." Mark 1:15
