the kohen.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Beliyaal; they knew
not vuvh.
13 And the kohen’s custom with the people was, that,
when any man offered sacrifice, the kohen’s eved came,
while the meat was cooking, with a three-pronged hook in
his hand,
14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or
pot; so that all that the flesh-hook brought up the kohen
took for himself. So this they did in Shiloh to all the
Yisraelites that came there.
15 Also before they burned the fat, the kohen's eved
came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give the meat
for the kohen to roast; for he will not have cooked meat
from you, but raw.
16 And if any man said to him, Let the fat burn first, and
then take as much as your being desires; then he would
answer him, No; but you shall give it to me now: and if
not, I will take it by force.
17 Therefore the sin of the young men was very great
before vuvh: for men despised the offering of vuvh.
18 But Schmuel served before vuvh, being a child,
dressed with a linen shoulder garment.
19 Moreover his eema made him a little coat, and brought
it to him from year to year, when she came up with her
husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 And Eli blessed Elchanah and his wife, and said, vuvh
give you zera of this woman for the promise that is given
to vuvh. And they went to their own home.
21 And vuvh visited Channah, so that she conceived, and
bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Schmuel
grew before vuvh.
22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did
to kol Yisrael; and how they had relations with the
women that assembled at the door of the Tabernacle of
the congregation.
23 And he said to them, Why do you do such things? For
I hear of your evil dealings from all the people.
24 No, my sons; for it is not a tov report that I hear: for
you make vuvh's people to transgress.
25 If one man sins against another, the judge shall render
mishpat for him: but if a man sins against vuvh, who shall
help him? Nevertheless they listened not to the voice of
their abba, because vuvh would kill them.
26 And the child Schmuel grew up, and was in favor both
with vuvh, and also with men.
27 And there came a man of Elohim to Eli, and said to
him, This says vuvh, Did I not plainly appear to the bayit
of your abba, when they were in Mitzrayim in bondage to
Pharaoh's bayit?
28 And didn’t I choose him out of all the tribes of Yisrael
to be My kohen, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense,
to wear a shoulder ephod before Me? And didn’t I give to
the bayit of your ahvot all the offerings made by fire by
the children of Yisrael?
29 Why do you deal wrongly with My sacrifice and keep
My offering, which I have commanded in My dwelling;
and honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat
with the best of all the offerings of Yisrael My people?
30 Therefore vuvh Elohim of Yisrael says, I said indeed
that your bayit, and the bayit of your ahvot, should have
their halacha before Me le-olam-va-ed: but now vuvh
said, Be it far from Me; for them that honor Me I will

honor, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 See, the days come, that I will cut off your arm, and
the arm of your abba's bayit, that there shall not be an old
man in your bayit.
32 And you shall see an enemy in My Dwelling Place,
despite all the wealth which Elohim shall give Yisrael:
and there shall not be an old man in your bayit
le-olam-va-ed.
33 And any of the men of your bayit, whom I shall not cut
off from My altar, shall still consume your eyes, and
grieve your lev: and all the increase of your bayit shall
die in their youth.
34 And this shall be an ot to you, that what now comes
upon your two sons, on Hofni and Pinchus; in one day
they shall die both of them.
35 And I will raise up for Myself a faithful Kohen, that
shall do according to that which is in My lev and in My
mind: and I will build Him a sure Bayit; and He shall
have His halacha before My anointing le-olam-va-ed. 762
36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in
your bayit shall come and crouch before him for a piece
of silver and a piece of lechem, and shall say, Put me, I
ask you, into one of the Kohanim’s offices, that I may eat
even a piece of lechem. 763

And the child Schmuel served before vuvh and in front
of Eli. And the word of vuvh was rare in those days; there
was no open vision.
2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli had lain
down in his bed, and his eyes began to grow dim, that he
could not see;
3 And the light of Elohim had not yet gone out in the
Hekal of vuvh, where the Ark of Elohim was, and
Schmuel was lying down ready to sleep;
4 And vuvh called Schmuel: and he answered, Hinayni.
5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Hinayni; for you called me.
And he said, I did not call you; go lie down again. And he
went and lay down.
6 And vuvh called yet again, Schmuel. And Schmuel
arose and went to Eli, and said, Hinayni; for you did call
me. And he answered, I did not call you, my son; go lie
down again.
7 Now Schmuel did not yet know vuvh neither was the
word of vuvh yet revealed to him.
8 And vuvh called Schmuel again the third time. And he
arose and went to Eli, and said, Hinayni; for you did call
me. And Eli then perceived that vuvh had called the child.
9 Therefore Eli said to Schmuel, Go, lie down: and it shall
be, if He calls you, that you shall say, Speak, vuvh; for
Your eved hears. So Schmuel went and lay down in his
place.
10 And vuvh came, and stood, and called as at the other
times, Schmuel, Schmuel. Then Schmuel answered,
Speak; for Your eved hears.
11 And vuvh said to Schmuel, See, I will do a thing in
Yisrael, at which both ears of every one that hears shall
tingle.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things that I
have spoken concerning his bayit: when I begin, I will
also make an end.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his bayit
le-olam-va-ed for the iniquity which he knows about;
because his sons made themselves vile and reviled the
