SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:13
Era la costumbre de los sacerdotes con el pueblo que , cuando alguno ofrecía sacrificio, venía el criado del sacerdote mientras la carne estaba a cocer, trayendo en su mano un garfio de tres ganchos;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:13
Verse 13. When any man offered sacrifice] That is, when a peace-offering was brought, the right shoulder and the breast belonged to the priest, the fat was burnt upon the altar, and the blood was poured at the bottom of the altar; the rest of the flesh belonged to the offerer. Under pretense of taking only their own part, they took the best of all they chose, and as much as they chose.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And the priest’s custom with the people was , etc.] Not what was according to the will and law of God, but which the sons of Eli had introduced; and in which they were followed by the rest of the priests, and so it became an established custom, and had the force of a law, statute, or judgment, as the word signifies: [that] when any man offered sacrifice ; not any sort of sacrifice, for if it was a burnt offering, it was wholly consumed by fire, and in that the following custom could not take place; and if it was a sin offering, that was eaten by the priests, and so there was no need of taking such a method as after related; but a peace offering, part of which belonged to the Lord, the fat that was burnt, and the breast and shoulder to the priest, and the rest to the owner, who made a feast of it for his family and friends: the priest’s servant came while the flesh was in seething ; that is, while those parts were boiling for the owner and his family; which was done in some part of the tabernacle, as afterwards in the temple: with a flesh hook of three teeth in his hand ; with a three forked instrument, with which he was sent by order of the priest that slew the sacrifice, and offered it, to whom belonged the parts before mentioned, allowed him by the law; but not content with these, he sent his servant, while the rest were boiling, with such an instrument as here described, to draw up more out of the boiling pot.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-26 - Samuel, being devoted to the Lord in a special manner, was from a chil employed about the sanctuary in the services he was capable of. As he did this with a pious disposition of mind, it was called ministerin unto the Lord. He received a blessing from the Lord. Those young people who serve God as well as they can, he will enable to improve, that the may serve him better. Eli shunned trouble and exertion. This led him to indulge his children, without using parental authority to restrain an correct them when young. He winked at the abuses in the service of the sanctuary till they became customs, and led to abominations; and his sons, who should have taught those that engaged in the service of the sanctuary what was good, solicited them to wickedness. Their offenc was committed even in offering the sacrifices for sins, which typifie the atonement of the Saviour! Sins against the remedy, the atonemen itself, are most dangerous, they tread under foot the blood of the covenant. Eli's reproof was far too mild and gentle. In general, non are more abandoned than the degenerate children of godly persons, when they break through restraints.
