Additional Laws for Sin Offerings

Then[fn] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the regulation of the sin offering: In the place where the sin offering is slaughtered, the sin offering must be slaughtered ⌊before⌋[fn] Yahweh; it is ⌊a most holy thing⌋.[fn] The priest ⌊who offers the sin offering⌋[fn] must eat it in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard. Anything that[fn] touches its flesh will become holy, and when ⌊some of⌋[fn] its blood spatters on a[fn] garment, what was spattered on it you[fn] shall wash in a holy place. And a clay vessel in which it was boiled must be broken, but[fn] if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then[fn] it shall be thoroughly scoured and rinsed with water. Any male among the priests may eat it; it is ⌊a most holy thing⌋.[fn] But[fn] any sin offering from which ⌊some of⌋[fn] its blood is brought to the tent of assembly to make atonement in the sanctuary must not be eaten; it must be burned in the fire.’ ”
