Leviticus 6:22-30

22 And the priest from among his sons, who is anointed in his stead, shall offer it. It is a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burned.

23 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten."

24 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

25 "Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, `This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD; it is most holy.

26 The priest who offereth it for sin shall eat it; in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.

27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy; and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.

28 But the earthen vessel wherein it is boiled shall be broken; and if it is boiled in a brazen pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water.

29 All the males among the priests shall eat thereof; it is most holy.

30 And no sin offering, from which any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation for reconcilement thereby in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burned in the fire.
