Leviticus 6:23-30

23 Every meal offering of a Kohen shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten."

24 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

25 "Speak to Aharon 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 Kohen who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the Tent of Meeting.

27 Whatever shall touch its flesh shall be holy. When there is any of its blood sprinkled on a 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 brazen vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water.

29 Every male among the Kohanim shall eat of it: it is most holy.

30 No sin offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be eaten: it shall be burned with fire.
