The Law of the Sin Offering

24 Also the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: (A)In the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the Lord. It is most holy. 26 (B)The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of meeting. 27 (C)Everyone who touches its flesh [a]must be holy. And when its blood is sprinkled on any garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled, in a holy place. 28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled (D)shall be broken. And if it is boiled in a bronze pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water. 29 All the males among the priests may eat it. It is most holy. 30 (E)But no sin offering from which any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of meeting, to make atonement in [b]the holy (F)place, shall be (G)eaten. It shall be (H)burned in the fire.

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.’”
