Leviticus 10:17-19

Good News Translation

^17 (A)“Why didn't you eat the sin offering in a sacred place? It is very holy, and the Lord has given it to you in order to take away the sin of the community. ¹⁸ Since its blood was not brought into the sacred Tent, you should have eaten the sacrifice there, as I commanded.”

¹⁹ Aaron answered, “If I had eaten the sin offering today, would the Lord have approved? The people presented their sin offering to the Lord today, and they brought their burnt offering, but still these terrible things have happened to me.”
