Leviticus 10:16-20
Lexham English Bible
The Problem of the Uneaten Sin Offering
16 Then[a] Moses sought all over for the goat of the sin offering and behold, it was burned up. So[b] he was angry with Aaron’s remaining sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying, 17 “Why did you not eat the sin offering on the sanctuary’s site, because it is a most holy thing?[c] And he gave it to you to remove the community’s guilt, to make atonement for them before[d] Yahweh. 18 Look, its blood was not brought inside the sanctuary.[e] Certainly you should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
19 So[f] Aaron said to Moses, “Look, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before[g] Yahweh, and things such as these have happened to me, and if I were to eat a sin offering today, would it have been good in Yahweh’s eyes?” 20 When[h] Moses heard, it[i] was good in his eyes.
