11 Elkanah went home to Ramah. The child served Jehovah before Eli the priest.
12 The sons of Eli were corrupt. They did not know Jehovah.
13 The priests had a custom with the people. If any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand.
14 He stuck it into the pan, kettle, caldron or pot. All that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there.
15 Before they burned the fat the priest’s servant came and said to the man who sacrificed: »Give flesh to roast for the priest. For he will not have boiled flesh from you, but raw!«
16 If any man said to him: »Let them burn the fat first, you may take as much as you desire.« Then he would answer him, »No! But you will give it now! If not, I will take it by force.«
