12and the sons of Eli are sons of worthlessness, they have not known Jehovah. 13And the custom of the priests with the people is: any man sacrificing a sacrifice—then hath the servant of the priest come in when the flesh is boiling, and the hook of three teeth in his hand, 14and hath struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the hook bringeth up doth the priest take for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in, there, in Shiloh. 15Also before they make perfume with the fat—then hath the priest’s servant come in, and said to the man who is sacrificing, ‘Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he doth not take of thee flesh boiled, but raw;’ 16and the man saith unto him, ‘Let them surely make a perfume (as to-day) with the fat, then take to thee as thy soul desireth;’ and he hath said to him, ‘Surely now thou dost give; and if not—I have taken by strength.’ 17And the sin of the young men is very great in the presence of Jehovah, for the men have despised the offering of Jehovah.
