*
The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice ,
the priest '
s servant would come ,
while the meat was boiling ,
with a three-pronged fork in his hand ,
*
and he would thrust it into the pan ,
or kettle ,
or caldron ,
or pot ;
all that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself .
So they did at Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there .
*
Moreover ,
before the fat was burned ,
the priest '
s servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing , "
Give meat for the priest to roast ;
for he will not accept boiled meat from you ,
but raw ."
*
And if the man said to him , "
Let them burn the fat first ,
and then take as much as you wish ,"
he would say , "
No ,
you must give it now ;
and if not ,
I will take it by force ."
