1 Samuel 2:17 in Context — 1 Samuel 2

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.

19 E fazia-lhe sua mãe uma túnica pequena, e a trazia a ele a cada ano, quando subia com seu marido a oferecer o sacrifício costumeiro.
