== The sins of Hophni and Phinehas ==
Hophni and Phinehas conducted their duties in an extremely offensive manner. This included misappropriating offered sacrificial meat and even demanding favors from the women who served at the doorway to the [[Tabernacle]] tent, favors of the sort that would be called "[[sexual harassment]]" of the highest order in modern workplaces.<ref name=Konig/><ref name=Blank1/><ref name=Easton/> ({{Bible ref|book=1_Samuel|chap=2|verses=12-17,22}}

Hophni and Phinehas misappropriated the meat in two ways. First, the proper method of making a peace offering to [[God]] was to burn the fat completely, and offer the breast to the high priest and the right thigh to whichever priest would burn the fat and sprinkle the [[blood]]. ({{Bible ref|book=Leviticus|chap=7|verses=29-34}}) Instead, Hophni and Phinehas would send their servant to take a three-pronged fork and thrust it into the cauldron into which the person bringing the offering had placed the meat for boiling, and would appropriate whatever meat was impaled on the fork for Hophni and Phinehas to eat.
