7

9
Do not drinkwine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
12
And Mosesspake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leavenbeside the altar: for it is mostholy:

17
Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holyplace, seeing it is mostholy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
19
And Aaronsaid unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offeringbefore the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
