A prophecy against Eli's house And every one of you that I do not cut off from My altar The phrase "cut off" in Hebrew is "karath," which often implies a severe form of judgment or separation. In the context of the priestly line of Eli, this signifies a divine judgment against those who have been unfaithful to their sacred duties. The "altar" represents the place of sacrifice and worship, central to Israel's covenant relationship with God. Historically, the altar was where priests mediated between God and the people, and being cut off from it meant losing one's role and standing before God. This phrase underscores the seriousness of the priestly office and the consequences of failing to honor it. will be spared only to blind your eyes with tears and grieve your heart and all your descendants will die by the sword of men And all the increase of thine house shall die.--In the Babylonian Talmud the Rabbis have related that there was once a family in Jerusalem the members of which died off regularly at eighteen years of age.

Translated literally the sense is good, but merciful, and this the A.V. has so rendered as to make it the most bitter of all denunciations. The Hebrews is, "Yet I will not cut off every one of thine from my altar, to consume thine eyes and to grieve thy soul;" that is, thy punishment shall not be so utter as to leave thee with no consolation; for thy descendants, though diminished in numbers, and deprived of the highest rank, shall still minister as priests at mine altar. "But the majority of try house - lit, the multitude of thy house - shall die as men." This is very well rendered in the A.V. "in the flower of theft age," only we must not explain this of dying of disease. They were to die in their vigour, not, like children and old men, in theft beds, but by violent deaths, such as actually befell them at Shiloh and at Nob.Parallel Commentaries ...
