1 Samuel 2:16-17

2:16 If the individual said to him, “First let the fat be burned away, and then take for yourself whatever you wish,” he would say, “No! ¹  Hand it over right now! If you don’t, I will take it forcibly!”

2:17 The sin of these young men was very great in the Lord’s sight, for they ²  treated the Lord’s offering with contempt.

[2:16]  ¹ tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss (“no”) rather than the Kethib and MT, which read “to him.”

[2:17]  ² tc Heb “the men,” which is absent from one medieval Hebrew ms, a Qumran ms, and the LXX.
