Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁷ And there came a man of God, unto Eli,––and said unto him––Thus, saith Yahweh, I, did indeed reveal myself, unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt, as servants unto the house of Pharaoh; ²⁸ choosing him out of all the tribes of Israel unto myself, to minister as priest, to offer upon mine altar, to perfume with incense to bear an ephod before me,––Therefore gave I unto the house of thy father all the altar–flames of the sons of Israel. ²⁹ Wherefore have ye been kicking at my sacrifices, and my presents, which I commanded, to serve for a home,––and shouldest have honoured thy sons more than me: fattening yourselves, with the first of every present of Israel, before me? ³⁰ Hence, the oracle of Yahweh God of Israel, I, said, that, thy house, and the house of thy father, should go to and fro in my presence, unto times age–abiding: But, now, (is the oracle of Yahweh)––Be it far from me! For, them who honour me, will I honour, but, they who despise me, shall be lightly esteemed.
