1 Samuel 2:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 2:14

And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot,
&c.] Whatever vessel was made use of, larger or lesser, according to the quantity of flesh the owner boiled for himself and friends, the trident the priest's servants brought with him, he struck into the boiler to the bottom; of it:

all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself;
as his own property; whereas no part of it at all belonged to him, he having had the breast and shoulder delivered to him in the first place; and yet, by this method, all that he could drag up with this three forked instrument he claimed as his own; which might be much, that would hang upon three teeth of it, or in which they were fastened; and, according to Abarbinel, each of them would bring up a pound of flesh, and perhaps more:

so they did in Shiloh, unto all the Israelites that came thither;
to offer their sacrifices, which was the proper place for them, the tabernacle and altar being there; and men of all ranks and degrees were treated alike, princes and people, rich and poor; the custom universally obtained, and all sorts of men met with the same usage.

1 Samuel 2:14 In-Context

12 Und die Söhne Elis waren Söhne Belials, sie kannten Jehova nicht.
13 Und die Weise der Priester gegen das Volk war also: So oft jemand ein Schlachtopfer opferte, kam der Knabe des Priesters, wenn man das Fleisch kochte, und hatte eine Gabel mit drei Zinken in seiner Hand;
14 und er stieß in das Becken oder in die Mulde oder in den Kessel oder in den Topf: Alles, was die Gabel heraufbrachte, nahm der Priester damit weg. Also taten sie zu Silo allen Israeliten, die dahin kamen.
15 Sogar ehe man das Fett räucherte, kam der Knabe des Priesters und sprach zu dem Manne, der opferte: Gib Fleisch zum Braten für den Priester! Denn er will kein gekochtes Fleisch von dir annehmen, sondern rohes.
16 Und sprach der Mann zu ihm: Sogleich werden sie das Fett räuchern, dann nimm dir, wie deine Seele begehrt; so sprach er: Nein, sondern jetzt sollst du es geben, und wenn nicht, so nehme ich es mit Gewalt.
