Levítico 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 10:17

Wherefore have ye not eaten of the sin [offering] in the
holy place, seeing it [is] most holy
The sin offering was one of the most holy things, and therefore to be eaten only in the sanctuary; though this was not the fault they are here charged with that they had eat it, but not in the holy place; for they had not eaten it at all, but burnt it, as appears from the preceding verse; this is what they are blamed for particularly, though they are reminded of the whole law concerning it, that it was to he eaten by them, that it was to be eaten in the holy place, the reason of which is given; but they had not eaten it any where:

and [God] hath given it to you, to bear the iniquity of the
congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?
for by eating the sin offering, or sin itself, as it is in the original text, see ( Hosea 4:8 ) they made the sins of the people, for whom the offering was, in some sense their own; and they bore them, and made a typical atonement for them; in which they were types of Christ, who was made sin for his people, took their sins upon him, and by imputation they were made his own, and he bore them in his own body on the tree, and made full satisfaction and atonement for them. Now since the eating of the sin offering of the people was of so great importance and consequence, the neglect of it by the priests was very blameworthy.

15 Con las ofrendas de los sebos que se han de encender, traerán la espaldilla que se ha de elevar, y el pecho que será mecido, para que lo mezas por ofrenda de mecedura delante del SEÑOR; y será por fuero perpetuo tuyo, y de tus hijos contigo, como el SEÑOR lo ha mandado

16 Y Moisés demandó el macho cabrío del pecado, y se halló que era quemado; y se enojó contra Eleazar e Itamar, los hijos de Aarón que habían quedado, diciendo

18 Veis que su sangre no fue metida en el santuario de adentro; habíais de comerla en el lugar santo, como yo mandé

19 Y respondió Aarón a Moisés: He aquí hoy han ofrecido su pecado y su holocausto delante del SEÑOR; con todo eso me han acontecido estas cosas; pues si comiera yo hoy de la expiación del pecado, ¿Hubiera sido acepto al SEÑOR
