1 Samuel 3:14

14 Portanto, jurei � casa de Eli que nunca jamais será expiada a sua iniqüidade, nem com sacrifícios, nem com ofertas.

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 Naquele mesmo dia cumprirei contra Eli, de princípio a fim, tudo quanto tenho falado a respeito da sua casa.

13 Porque já lhe fiz: saber que hei de julgar a sua casa para sempre, por causa da iniqüidade de que ele bem sabia, pois os seus filhos blasfemavam a Deus, e ele não os repreendeu.

14 Portanto, jurei � casa de Eli que nunca jamais será expiada a sua iniqüidade, nem com sacrifícios, nem com ofertas.

15 Samuel ficou deitado até pela manhã, e então abriu as portas da casa do Senhor; Samuel, porém, temia relatar essa visão a Eli.

16 Mas chamou Eli a Samuel, e disse: Samuel, meu filho! Ao que este respondeu: Eis-me aqui.
