Leviticus 6 — Context

26

The priest by whom it is offered for sin, is to take it for his food in a holy place, in the open space of the Tent of meeting.

27

Anyone touching the flesh of it will be holy: and if any of the blood is dropped on any clothing, the thing on which the blood has been dropped is to be washed in a holy place.

28

But the vessel of earth in which the flesh was cooked is to be broken; or if a brass vessel was used, it is to be rubbed clean and washed out with water.

29

Every male among the priests may take it for his food: it is most holy.

30

No sin-offering, the blood of which is taken into the Tent of meeting, to take away sin in the holy place, may be used for food: it is to be burned with fire.
