24 The Lord told Moses 25 how the priests from Aaron’s family were to offer the sacrifice for sin:
This sacrifice is very sacred, and the animal must be killed in my presence at the north side of the bronze altar. 26 The priest who offers this sacrifice must eat it in the sacred courtyard of the sacred tent, 27 and anyone or anything that touches the meat will be holy.6.27 that touches … holy: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text. If any of the animal’s blood is splattered on the clothes of the priest, they must be washed in a holy place. 28 If the meat was cooked in a clay pot, the pot must be destroyed,6.28 clay pot … destroyed: Juice from the meat cannot be completely cleaned from a clay pot. but if it was cooked in a bronze pot, the pot must be scrubbed and rinsed with water.
29 This sacrifice is very holy, and only the priests may have any part of it. 30 None of the meat may be eaten from the sacrifices for sin that require blood to be brought into the sacred tent.6.30 that require blood … tent: See 4.1-21. These sacrifices must be completely burned.
