This is what they did to all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.' 15 But even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man offering the sacrifice, ‘Give the priest some meat to roast; he won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.’ 16 And if the man said to him, ‘Let the fat be burned first, and then take whatever you want,’ the servant would reply, ‘No, give it to me now! If you don’t, I’ll take it by force.’ 17 So the sin of the young men was very great in the LORD’s sight, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.
