²⁵ “Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering:^(A) The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord^(B) in the place^(C) the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. ²⁶ The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area,^(D) in the courtyard^(E) of the tent of meeting.^(F)

¹⁶ When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering^[a](A) and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked, ¹⁷ “Why didn’t you eat the sin offering^(B) in the sanctuary area? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt^(C) of the community by making atonement for them before the Lord. ¹⁸ Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place,^(D) you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.^(E)”
