1 Samuel 2:13-14 New English Translation
13 This was the priests’ routine with the people. Whenever anyone was making a sacrifice,[a] the priest’s attendant would come with a three-pronged fork[b] in his hand, just as the meat was boiling. 14 He would jab it into the basin, kettle, cauldron, or pot. Everything that the fork would bring up the priest would take for himself. This is how they used to treat all the Israelites[c] who came there[d] to Shiloh.
