1 Samuele 2:15

Listen to 1 Samuele 2:15
15 Ed anche, avanti che si fosse arso il grasso, il servitore del sacerdote veniva, e diceva a colui che faceva il sacrificio: Dammi della carne, per arrostirla per il sacerdote; perciocchè egli non prenderà da te carne cotta, ma cruda.

1 Samuele 2:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 2:15

Also before they burnt the fat
Which belonged to the Lord, and was to be offered to him by fire, in the first place, as it ought to be; and the order of sacrificing required that he should have his part first before the priest or the owner: but so impious were the priests become, that

the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed;
not to the priest that offered, but to the man that brought his sacrifice to be offered by the priest:

give flesh to roast for the priest;
meaning, not what was his by law, as the breast and shoulder, though for these he ought to have stayed until the fat was offered to the Lord; but other parts of the peace offering, which he had no right unto, for roasting or boiling, and yet in an imperious manner demanded it by his servant:

for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw
though this was not the only reason of this demand, because they liked roast meat better than boiled; but because the three forked flesh hook did not always bring up the best pieces out of the boiling pot; and therefore he resolved to have flesh raw, that he might have the best, as well as dress it to his own liking.

1 Samuele 2:15 In-Context

13 E l’usanza di que’ sacerdoti inverso il popolo era tale: Quando qualunque persona faceva qualche sacrificio, il servitore del sacerdote veniva, mentre si coceva la carne, avendo una forcella a tre denti in mano.
14 E, fittala nella caldaia, o nel paiuolo, o nella pentola, o nella pignatta, tutto ciò che la forcella traeva fuori, il sacerdote lo prendeva per sè. Così facevano a tutti gl’Israeliti che venivano là in Silo.
15 Ed anche, avanti che si fosse arso il grasso, il servitore del sacerdote veniva, e diceva a colui che faceva il sacrificio: Dammi della carne, per arrostirla per il sacerdote; perciocchè egli non prenderà da te carne cotta, ma cruda.
16 E se pur quell’uomo gli diceva: Ardasi ora di presente il grasso, poi prendine a tua voglia; egli gli diceva: Anzi pure ora tu ne darai; altrimenti, io ne prenderò a forza.
17 E il peccato di que’ giovani era molto grande nel cospetto del Signore; perciocchè gli uomini sprezzavano le offerte del Signore.
