Leviticus 10:17-19

King James Version

¹⁷Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?

¹⁸Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.

¹⁹And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?

New American Standard Bible

¹⁷“Why ^(A)did you not eat the sin offering at the ^[a]holy place? For it is most holy, and ^[b]He gave it to you to take away ^(B)the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord. ¹⁸Behold, ^(C)since its blood had not been brought inside, into the sanctuary, you certainly should have ^(D)eaten it in the sanctuary, just as I commanded!” ¹⁹But Aaron said to Moses, “Behold, this very day they ^(E)presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. When things like these happened to me, if I had eaten a sin offering today, would it have been good in the sight of the Lord?”

You certainly ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary, ^(D)as I commanded.” ¹⁹And Aaron said to Moses, “Behold, ^(E)today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, and yet such things as these have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, ^(F)would the Lord have approved?”
