1 Samuel 2:16-17

Context
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.

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

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