16 Then Moses made careful inquiry about (A)the goat of the sin offering, and there it was—burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying, 17 (B)“Why have you not eaten the sin offering in a holy place, since it is most holy, and God has given it to you to bear (C)the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord? 18 See!
