Leviticus 10:16-20
Lexham English Bible
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.

Christian Standard Bible
16 Then Moses inquired carefully about the male goat of the sin offering, but it had already been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s surviving sons, and asked, 17 “Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the sanctuary area?(A) For it is especially holy, and he has assigned it to you to take away the guilt(B) of the community(C) and make atonement for them before the Lord. 18 Since its blood was not brought inside the sanctuary, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”(D)
19 But Aaron replied to Moses, “See, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the Lord’s sight?” 20 When Moses heard this, it was acceptable to him.[a]
