1 Samuel 2 13-1 Samuel 2 16
When any of the people came to offer a sacrifice, here is what the priests would do. While the meat was being boiled, the servant of the priest would come with a large fork in his hand.He would stick the fork into the pan or pot or small or large kettle. Then the priest would take for himself everything the fork brought up. That’s how Eli’s sons treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.Even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come over. He would speak to the person who was offering the sacrifice. He would say,“ Give the priest some meat to cook. He won’t accept boiled meat from you. He’ll only accept raw meat.”Sometimes the person would say to him,“ Let the fat be burned first. Then take what you want.” But the servant would answer,“ No. Hand it over right now. If you don’t, I’ll take it away from you by force.”
