Eli’s greedy sons

2:12 Eli’s greedy sons

12Now Eli’s sons were worthless scoundrels who didn’t obey Yahweh. 13It was the custom of those priests that when anyone was offering a sacrifice and as soon as the meat was boiling, the priest’s servant would come along holding a three-pronged fork 14and stick it into the pot or pan. The priest would then claim whatever the fork brought up. That’s what they did to all the Israelis who came to Shiloh to offer sacrifices. 15Also, before the fat was removed to burn, the priest’s servant would say to the person sacrificing, “Give some meat to the priest—he doesn’t want just boiled meat all the time—he’ll take some raw meat as well to roast.”

16But if the person tried to say, “Once the fat has all been burnt, then take whatever you want for yourself,” then he’d assert, “No, you’d better give it right now or I’ll take it by force.” 17And so the actions of those young men were very wicked in Yahweh’s mind because they just treated sacrifices to Yahweh with contempt.
