Shmuel Alef 2:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ And if any ish said unto him, Let them first not fail to burn the chelev, and then take as much as thy nefesh desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt hand it over to me now; and if not, I will take it by chazakah (force).

¹⁷ Wherefore the chattat hane’arim was gedolah me’od before Hashem; for the anashim treated with contempt the minchat Hashem.

¹⁸ But Shmuel was mesharet (minister) before Hashem, being a na’ar, girded with an ephod bad (linen robe).
