Leviticus 10:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 10:17

15 ^aThe thigh of the heave offering and the breast of the wave offering they shall bring with the offerings of fat made by fire, to offer as a wave offering before the Lord. And it shall be yours and your sons’ with you, by a statute forever, as the Lord has commanded.”

16 Then Moses made careful inquiry about ^athe goat of the sin offering, and there it was—burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,

17 ^a“Why have you not eaten the sin offering in a holy place, since it is most holy, and God has given it to you to bear ^bthe guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?

18 See! ^aIts blood was not brought inside¹ the holy place; indeed you should have eaten it in a holy place, ^bas I commanded.”

19 And Aaron said to Moses, “Look, ^athis day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, and such things have befallen me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, ^bwould it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?”

20 So when Moses heard that, he was content.
