5. 12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.
13 And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the
priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his
hand;
14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up
the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed,
Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
16 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as
much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if
not, I will take it by force.
