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 Moses asked about the goat that was brought as the sin offering. He found out that it had been burned up. So he became angry with Eleazar and Ithamar. They were Aaron's two remaining sons. Moses asked them,

17 "Why didn't you eat the sin offering in a place that is near the Holy Room? The offering is very holy. It was given to you to take the people's guilt away. It paid for their sin in the sight of the Lord.

18 The blood of the offering wasn't taken into the Holy Room. So you should have eaten the goat in a place that is near the Holy Room. That's what I commanded."

19 Aaron replied to Moses, "Today the people sacrificed their sin offering to the Lord. They also sacrificed their burnt offerings to him. But a terrible thing has happened to me. Two of my sons have died. Would the LORD have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?"

20 When Moses heard that, he was satisfied.
