The Sin Offering

24 The Lord spoke to Moses: 25 “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the sin offering.(A) The sin offering is most holy and must be slaughtered before the Lord at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. 26 The priest who offers it as a sin offering will eat it. It is to be eaten in a holy place,(B) in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. 27 Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and if any of its blood spatters on a garment, then you must wash that garment[a] in a holy place. 28 A clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled is to be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it is to be scoured and rinsed with water. 29 Any male among the priests may eat it; it is especially holy. 30 But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place; it must be burned.

Additional Laws for Sin Offerings

24 Then[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 25 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the regulation of the sin offering: In the place where the sin offering is slaughtered, the sin offering must be slaughtered before[b] Yahweh; it is a most holy thing.[c] 26 The priest who offers the sin offering[d] must eat it in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard. 27 Anything that[e] touches its flesh will become holy, and when some of[f] its blood spatters on a[g] garment, what was spattered on it you[h] shall wash in a holy place. 28 And a clay vessel in which it was boiled must be broken, but[i] if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then[j] it shall be thoroughly scoured and rinsed with water. 29 Any male among the priests may eat it; it is a most holy thing.[k] 30 But[l] any sin offering from which some of[m] its blood is brought to the tent of assembly to make atonement in the sanctuary must not be eaten; it must be burned in the fire.’”
