1 Samuel 2:12-17

Leeser(i) 12 And the sons of ‘Eli were worthless men: they knew not the Lord. 13 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the man was seething the flesh, with a fork with three teeth in his hand; 14 And he struck it into the pan, or the kettle, or the caldron, or the pot; and all that the fork brought up the priest took away with it. So did they unto all the Israelites that came thither, to Shiloh. 15 Even before they had yet burnt the fat, the priest’s servant would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not take from thee sodden flesh, but raw. 16 And if the man said unto him, They will surely presently burn the fat, and then take whatever thy soul may long for: then would he say, No; but thou shalt give it me now; and if not, I will take it by force. 17 And the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord; for the men despised the offering of the Lord.
