The Sin Offering

24 The Lord said to Moses, 25 “Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering:(A) The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord(B) in the place(C) the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. 26 The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area,(D) in the courtyard(E) of the tent of meeting.(F) 27 Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy,(G) and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in the sanctuary area. 28 The clay pot(H) the meat is cooked in must be broken; but if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot is to be scoured and rinsed with water. 29 Any male in a priest’s family may eat it;(I) it is most holy.(J) 30 But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement(K) in the Holy Place(L) must not be eaten; it must be burned up.(M)

The Guilt Offering

“‘These are the regulations for the guilt offering,(N) which is most holy: The guilt offering is to be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and its blood is to be splashed against the sides of the altar. All its fat(O) shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the internal organs, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.(P) The priest shall burn them on the altar(Q) as a food offering presented to the Lord. It is a guilt offering. Any male in a priest’s family may eat it,(R) but it must be eaten in the sanctuary area; it is most holy.(S)

“‘The same law applies to both the sin offering[a](T) and the guilt offering:(U) They belong to the priest(V) who makes atonement with them.(W)
