Leviticus 6:21-30

21 It shall be made in a pan with oil. When it is mixed, you shall bring it in. The baked pieces of the grain offering you shall offer for a sweet aroma to the Lord.

22 The priest from among his sons, who is anointed in his place, shall offer it. It is a statute forever to the Lord. It shall be wholly burned.

23 For every grain offering for the priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten."

24 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

25 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the Lord. It is most holy.

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

27 Everyone who touches its flesh must be holy. ^[a] And when its blood is sprinkled on any garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled, in a holy place.

28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken. And if it is boiled in a bronze pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water.

29 All the males among the priests may eat it. It is most holy.

30 But no sin offering from which any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of meeting, to make atonement in the holy place, ^[b] shall be eaten. It shall be burned in the fire.
