15Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, |Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw.|


In Context

12 Now the sons of Eli were base men; they didn't know Yahweh.

13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;

14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

15 Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, |Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw.|

16 If the man said to him, |Let the fat be burned first, and then take as much as your soul desires;| then he would say, |No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force.|

17 The sin of the young men was very great before Yahweh; for the men despised the offering of Yahweh.
