A prophecy against Eli's house Even before the fat was burned In the sacrificial system outlined in Leviticus, the fat of the offering was considered the Lord's portion and was to be burned on the altar as a pleasing aroma to God (Leviticus 3:16). The priests' actions here show a blatant disregard for God's commands, highlighting their corruption and disrespect for sacred practices. This phrase sets the stage for the sinful behavior of Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, who were priests at Shiloh. the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing “Give the priest some meat to roast because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.” Persons / Places / Events 1. Eli's Sons (Hophni and Phinehas)The sons of Eli, the high priest, who were corrupt and abused their priestly duties. 2. The Priest's Servant An unnamed servant who acted on behalf of Eli's sons, demanding raw meat from the worshippers. 3. The Tabernacle at Shiloh The central place of worship where the Israelites brought their sacrifices. 4. Sacrificial Worship The act of offering sacrifices to God, which was being corrupted by Eli's sons. 5. Israelite Worshippers The people bringing sacrifices to God, who were being exploited by the priests. Teaching Points Respect for God's CommandsGod's instructions for worship and sacrifice are to be followed with reverence and obedience. Disregarding His commands leads to corruption and dishonor. Integrity in Leadership Leaders, especially those in spiritual roles, must act with integrity and not exploit their positions for personal gain. Eli's sons serve as a warning against such behavior. Consequences of Sin Sin, especially when persistent and unrepentant, has serious consequences. Eli's sons faced God's judgment for their actions. The Role of Accountability Believers should hold each other accountable to maintain purity in worship and service to God. Eli's failure to correct his sons contributed to their downfall. The Importance of True Worship Worship should be conducted in spirit and truth, focusing on honoring God rather than fulfilling selfish desires.(15) Before they burnt the fat.--This was a still graver offence against the ritual of the sacrifice. A contemptuous insult was here offered to the Lord. This fat was not to be eaten or taken by any one; it was God's portion, to be burnt by the priest on the altar (Leviticus 3:16; Leviticus 7:23; Leviticus 7:25; Leviticus 7:30-31). In all these strange rites and ceremonies there was a higher symbolism involved. This was ruthlessly set at nought and trampled on by these reckless, covetous guardians of the worship of Israel. Portions of the sacrifice fell legally to the ministering priests in lieu of fee. It was fair "that they which ministered at the altar should live of the altar." The "heave leg" and the "wave breast" of the slaughtered victim were theirs by right, and these the sacrificing priest was to receive after the fat portion of the sacrifice had been burnt upon the altar. But to take the flesh of the victim, and roast it before the symbolic offering had been made, was a crime which was equivalent to robbing God. It dishonoured the whole ceremony. He will not have sodden flesh.--The meaning of this is, these priests and their attendants insisted on having the best part of the sacrificed victim raw, not boiled--that is, fresh, full of juice and strength--before the offering had been made. . . .
