*
And the priests '
custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice ,
the priest '
s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling .
*
Then he would thrust it into the pan ,
or kettle ,
or caldron ,
or pot ;
and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up .
So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there .
*
Also ,
before they burned the fat ,
the priest '
s servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed , "
Give meat for roasting to the priest ,
for he will not take boiled meat from you ,
but raw ."
*
And if the man said to him , "
They should really burn the fat first ;
then you may take as much as your heart desires ,"
he would then answer him , "
No ,
but you must give it now ;
and if not ,
I will take it by force ."
