Leviticus 6:24-30

24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

25 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ¹This is the law of the sin offering. ²In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord; ³it is most holy.

26 ⁴The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. ⁵In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.

27 Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy, and when any of its blood is splashed on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was splashed in a holy place.

28 And ⁶the earthenware vessel in which it is boiled ⁷shall be broken. But if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that shall be scoured and rinsed in water.

29 Every male among the priests may eat of it; ⁸it is most holy.

30 ⁹But no sin offering shall be eaten from which any blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it shall be burned up with fire.
