1 Samuel 2:17 in Context — 1 Samuel 2

15 Asimismo, antes de quemar el sebo, venía el criado del sacerdote, y decía al que sacrificaba: Da carne que ase para el sacerdote; porque no tomará de ti carne cocida, sino cruda.

16 Y si le respondía el varón, Quemen luego el sebo hoy, y después toma tanta como quisieres; él respondía: No, sino ahora la has de dar: de otra manera yo la tomaré por fuerza.

17 Era pues el pecado de los mozos muy grande delante de Jehová; porque los hombres menospreciaban los sacrificios de Jehová.

18 Y el joven Samuel ministraba delante de Jehová, vestido de un ephod de lino.

19 Y hacíale su madre una túnica pequeña, y traíasela cada año, cuando subía con su marido á ofrecer el sacrificio acostumbrado.
