1 Samuel 2:16 in Context — 1 Samuel 2

14 E enfiava com ele na caldeira, ou na caçarola, ou no caldeirão, ou no pote; e tudo o que tirava o garfo, o sacerdote o tomava para si. Desta maneira faziam a todo israelita que vinha a Siló.

15 Também, antes de queimar a gordura, vinha o criado do sacerdote, e dizia ao que sacrificava: Da carne que asse para o sacerdote; porque não tomará de ti carne cozida, mas sim crua.

16 E se lhe respondia o homem, Queimem logo a gordura hoje, e depois toma tanta quanto quiseres; ele respondia: Não, mas sim agora a darás: de outra maneira eu a tomarei por força.

17 Era, pois, o pecado dos moços muito grande diante do SENHOR; porque os homens menosprezavam os sacrifícios do SENHOR.

18 E o jovem Samuel ministrava diante do SENHOR, vestido de um éfode de linho.
