1 Samuel 3:14

14 Por eso he jurado a la casa de Elí que la iniquidad de su casa no será expiada jamás, ni por sacrificio ni por ofrenda.

1 Samuel 3:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 3:14

And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli
Either had done this before, which was signified to him by the man of God, or did swear now for the confirmation of his threatenings, and to assure the certain performance of them:

that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice
nor offering for ever:
not even typically, which was all that legal sacrifice could do; and not so that the priesthood should ever return to the family again, as the office of high priesthood never did; or, as Abarbinel interprets it, because of sacrifice and offering, that the iniquity Eli's sons were guilty of in taking the flesh of the sacrifices and offerings, which did not belong to them, and before the Lord had his part, should never be expiated.

(There are some sins that are not covered in the atonement of Jesus Christ. This is one of them and the sin against the Holy Ghost is another. ( Matthew 12:31 ) . Editor.)

1 Samuel 3:14 In-Context

12 Ese día cumpliré contra Elí todo lo que he hablado sobre su casa, desde el principio hasta el fin.

13 Porque le he hecho saber que estoy a punto de juzgar su casa para siempre a causa de la iniquidad que él conocía, pues sus hijos trajeron sobre sí una maldición, y él no los reprendió.

14 Por eso he jurado a la casa de Elí que la iniquidad de su casa no será expiada jamás, ni por sacrificio ni por ofrenda.

15 Samuel se acostó hasta la mañana; entonces abrió las puertas de la casa del SEÑOR; pero Samuel temía contar la visión a Elí.

16 Pero Elí llamó a Samuel, y le dijo: Samuel, hijo mío. Y él respondió: Heme aquí.
