1 SAMUEL 3:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.”
And therefore I swear to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever—*lo yekhuppar* (shall not be atoned) establishes that no *korban* (offering, sacrifice) can reverse the curse. The *avon* (iniquity) is structural, not incidental; the priestly line itself is disqualified from redemption through ritual.
