Douay Rheims Original ↷
1 Samuel 2 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
13 nor the office of Priests to the people: but whosoever had immolated a victim, the servant of the Priest came, whilst the flesh was in boiling, and had a flesh hook with three teeth in his hand,
14 and thrust it into the kettle, or into the cauldron, or into the pot, or into the pan: and all that the flesh hook brought up, the Priest took to himself. So did they to all Israel that came into Silo.
15 Yea before they burnt the fat, the servant of the Priest came, and said to him that immolated: Give me flesh, that I may boil it for the Priest: for I will not take flesh of thee sod, but raw.
16 And he that immolated said to him: Let the fat first be burnt to day according to the manner, and take unto thee how much soever thy soul desireth. Who answering said to him: Not so: for thou shalt give it now, or else I will take it away by force.
17 Therefore the sin of the young men was exceeding great before our Lord: because men detracted from the sacrifice of our Lord.
