  2. Explication du texte

Why can't the guilt of Eli’s house be atoned for?

1 Samuel 3:14 (NEG79)

14 C'est pourquoi je jure à la maison d'Eli que jamais le crime de la maison d'Eli ne sera expié, ni par des sacrifices ni par des offrandes.

Eli’s house despised the sacrifice and offerings of the Lord. As a result, the sacrifice and offerings will have no efficacy on their behalf. That is to say, the Lord’s decision to judge the house of Eli cannot be stopped or changed by bringing sacrifices and offerings (see Numbers 15:30–31; Hebrews 10:26–27).1
