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.
This is the law of the sin offering. It was slain, and the fat and inward, after being washed and salted, were burnt upon the altar. But the rest of the carcass belonged to the officiating priest in the case only of a sin offering for a ruler, or any of the people (see the notes at Leviticus 4:22-35). He and his family might feast upon it-only, however, within the precincts of the tabernacle; and none else were allowed to partake of it but the members of a priestly family-and not even they, if under any ceremonial defilement.
