Leviticus 6:23-30

23 Every cereal offering of a priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten."

24 The LORD said to Moses,

25 "Say to Aaron and his sons, 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 offers it for sin shall eat it; in 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 sprinkled on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place.

28 And the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall 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; it is most holy.

30 But 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 with fire.
