Hofni and Pinchas' Sins
The people complain that the sons of the Cohen Gadol (High
Priest) Eli are accused of delaying people from making sacrifices at the
Mishkan (tabernacle,) spearing the choicest meats from the sacrifices for
themselves, and sleeping with the women who came to make sacrificial
offerings. Later, Eli confronts his sons about the first two accusations,
but not the last. This would seem to indicate that Eli investigated the
accusations and found that the first two were true, but the accusations of
sexual misconduct lacked merit.
