1 Samuel 2:28-30

Names of God Bible

²⁸ I chose one of your ancestors out of all the tribes of Israel to serve as my priest, to sacrifice burnt offerings on my altar, to burn incense, and to wear the ephod in my presence. And I gave your ancestors the right to keep portions of the sacrifices that the people of Israel burned on the altar. ²⁹ Why do you show no respect for my sacrifices and grain offerings that I have commanded people to make in my dwelling place? Why do you honor your sons more than me by making yourselves fat on the best of all the sacrifices offered by my people Israel?

³⁰ “Therefore, Yahweh Elohim of Israel declares: I certainly thought that your family and your father’s family would always live in my presence.

“But now Yahweh declares: I promise that I will honor those who honor me, and those who despise me will be considered insignificant.
