Leviticus 6:24-30

Additional Laws for Sin Offerings

24 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

25 "Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, 'This is the regulation of the sin offering: In [the] place where the sin offering is slaughtered, the sin offering must be slaughtered {before} Yahweh; it [is] {a most holy thing}.

26 The priest {who offers the sin offering} must eat it in a holy place--in the tent of assembly's courtyard.

27 Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and [when] {some of} its blood spatters on a garment, what was spattered on it you shall wash in a holy place.

28 And a clay vessel in which it was boiled must be broken, but if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then it shall be thoroughly scoured and rinsed with water.

29 Any male among the priests may eat it; it [is] {a most holy thing}.

30 But any sin offering [from] which {some of} its blood is brought to the tent of assembly to make atonement in the sanctuary must not be eaten; it must be burned in the fire.'"
