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 surviving 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 the Lord. 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)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?” ²⁰ When Moses heard that, it seemed good in his sight.
