Leviticus 10:16-20
Legacy Standard Bible
16 But Moses searched carefully for the (A)goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up! So he was angry with Aaron’s remaining sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying, 17 “Why (B)did you not eat the sin offering at the holy place? For it is most holy, and [a]He gave it to you to bear away (C)the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Yahweh. 18 Behold, (D)since its blood had not been brought inside, into the sanctuary, you should certainly have (E)eaten it in the sanctuary, just as I commanded.” 19 But Aaron spoke to Moses, “Behold, this very day they (F)brought near their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh. Then things like these happened to me. So if I had eaten a sin offering today, would it have been good in the sight of Yahweh?” 20 So Moses heard this, and it was good in his sight.

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.
