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 Then Moses sought all over [for] the goat of the sin offering and behold, it was burned up. So 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}? And he gave it to you to remove the community's guilt, to make atonement for them {before} Yahweh.

18 Look, its blood was not brought {inside the sanctuary}. Certainly you should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded."

19 So Aaron said to Moses, "Look, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering {before} 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 Moses heard, it was good in his eyes.
