1 Samuel 2:27,28

There came a man of God unto Eli That is, a prophet, sent from God to deliver the following message to him: Did I plainly appear Hebrew, Manifestly reveal myself unto the spouse of thy father Unto Aaron, who was the head of the family of the priests. It is the way of the prophets, when they call men to repentance for their sins, to show them the aggravations of these sins, by enumerating God's many and great mercies to them. See Isaiah 1:2, &c.; Micah 6:3. All the offerings made by fire There were none of the sacrifices offered at the altar of which the priest had not some share: see Numbers 18:8. For even of the burnt-offerings, which were wholly consumed on the altar, the skin was, by an express law, given to the priest, Leviticus 7:8.
