12Eli’s sons were worthless men; they did not know Yahweh.

13The custom of the priests with the people was this: whenever any man was sacrificing a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come while the meat was boiling, with the three-pronged fork in his hand.

14and he would thrust it into the basin, or the pot, or the kettle, or the cooking pan; all that the fork brought up, the priest would take with it. Thus they did to all Israel who came there to Shiloh.
