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.

New International Version
16 When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering[a](A) and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked, 17 “Why didn’t you eat the sin offering(B) in the sanctuary area? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt(C) of the community by making atonement for them before the Lord. 18 Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place,(D) you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.(E)”
19 Aaron replied to Moses, “Today they sacrificed their sin offering and their burnt offering(F) before the Lord, but such things as this have happened to me. Would the Lord have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?” 20 When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.
