Leviticus 10:18 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 10:18

Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy
place
When that was the case, indeed, the flesh of the sin offering was not to be eaten, but burnt, see ( Leviticus 6:30 ) but this was not the case now, and therefore its flesh should have been eaten, and not burnt:

ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy [place], as I commanded,
( Leviticus 6:26 ) .

Leviticus 10:18 In-Context

16 Moses tried to find out what had happened to the male goat that was supposed to be the offering for sin. To his surprise, it had already been burned. So he became angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's surviving sons.

17 He asked them, "Why didn't you eat the offering for sin in the holy place? It is very holy and was given to you to take away the sins of the congregation and to make peace with the LORD for them.

18 Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you certainly should have eaten it there, as I commanded."

19 Aaron answered Moses, "Today they sacrificed their offering for sin and their burnt offering in the LORD's presence, and look what happened to me. If I had eaten the offering for sin today, would the LORD have approved?"

20 When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.
