The sons of Eli, wicked men, and the custom of the priests with the people

불량자인 엘리의 아들들과 제사장들이 백성에게 행하는 습관

1 Samuel 2:12–17: now the sons of Eli are wicked men. They don’t know the LORD. The custom of the priests with the people is that when anyone offers a sacrifice, the priest’s servant comes while the meat is boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand; and he stabs it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. The priest takes all that the fork brings up for himself. They do this to all the Israelites who come there to Shiloh. Yes, before they burn the fat, the priest’s servant comes, and says to the man who sacrifices, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw.” If the man says 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.” The text says, “The sin of the young men was very great before the LORD; for the men despised the LORD’s offering.”
