Leviticus 6:24-30

Contemporary English Version

Sacrifices for Sin

(Leviticus 4.1,2)

²⁴ The Lord told Moses ²⁵ how the priests from Aaron's family were to offer the sacrifice for sin:

This sacrifice is very sacred, and the animal must be killed in my presence at the north side of the bronze altar. ²⁶ The priest who offers this sacrifice must eat it in the sacred courtyard of the sacred tent, ²⁷ and anyone or anything that touches the meat will be holy.^[a] If any of the animal's blood is splattered on the clothes of the priest, they must be washed in a holy place. ²⁸ If the meat was cooked in a clay pot, the pot must be destroyed,^[b] but if it was cooked in a bronze pot, the pot must be scrubbed and rinsed with water.

²⁹ This sacrifice is very holy, and only the priests may have any part of it. ³⁰ None of the meat may be eaten from the sacrifices for sin that require blood to be brought into the sacred tent.^[c] These sacrifices must be completely burned.
