1 Samuel 2:27-29

Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ A man of God came to Eli and said to him,^(A) “This is what the Lord says: ‘Didn’t I reveal myself to your forefather’s family^[a] when they were in Egypt and belonged to Pharaoh’s palace?^{(B) 28} Out of all the tribes of Israel, I chose your house^[b] to be my priests, to offer sacrifices on my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence.^(C) I also gave your forefather’s family all the Israelite food offerings. ²⁹ Why, then, do all of you despise my sacrifices and offerings that I require at the place of worship?^(D) You have honored your sons more than me,^(E) by making yourselves fat with the best part of all of the offerings of my people Israel.’
