This is how they used to treat all the Israelites who came there to Shiloh. 15 Also, before they burned the fat the priest’s attendant would come and say to the person who was making the sacrifice,“Give some meat for the priest to roast! He won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.” 16 If the individual said to him,“They should certainly burn the fat away first, then take for yourself whatever you wish,” he would say,“No!
