1 Samuel 2:12-18
12Now the sonsH1121 of EliH5941 were worthlessH1100 menH1121; they knewH3045 not the LORDH3068. 13And the priestsH3548’ customH4941 with the peopleH5971 was, that, when any manH376 offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077, the priest’sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, while the fleshH1320 was boilingH1310, with a fleshhookH4207 of threeH7969 teethH8127 in his handH3027; 14And he struckH5221 it into the panH3595, or kettleH1731, or caldronH7037, or potH6517; all that the fleshhookH4207 brought upH5927 the priestH3548 tookH3947 for himself. So they didH6213 in ShilohH7887 to all the IsraelitesH3478 that cameH935 there. 15Also before they burntH6999 the fatH2459, the priest’sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, and saidH559 to the manH376 that sacrificedH2076, GiveH5414 fleshH1320 to roastH6740 for the priestH3548; for he will not haveH3947 boiledH1310 fleshH1320 of thee, but rawH2416. 16And if any manH376 saidH559 to him, Let them not failH6999 to burnH6999 the fatH2459 presentlyH3117, and then takeH3947 as much as thy soulH5315 desirethH183; then he would answerH559 him, Nay ; but thou shalt giveH5414 it to me now: and if not, I will takeH3947 it by forceH2394.1 17Therefore the sinH2403 of the young menH5288 was veryH3966 greatH1419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for menH582 abhorredH5006 the offeringH4503 of the LORDH3068. 18But SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, being a childH5288, girdedH2296 with a linenH906 ephodH646.
