1 Samuel 2:16 Context
14And he strooke it into the panne, or kettle, or caldron, or pot: all that the flesh-hooke brought vp, the priest tooke for himselfe: so they did in Shiloh vnto all the Israelites that came thither. 15Also before they burnt the fat, the priests seruant came, & said to the man that sacrificed, Giue flesh to roste for the priest, for he wil not haue sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 16And if any man said vnto him, Let them not faile to burne the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soule desireth: then hee would answere him, Nay, but thou shalt giue it mee now: and if not, I will take it by force. 17Wherefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord. 18¶ But Samuel ministred before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linnen Ephod.
