Leviticus 6:21-30 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

21. It is to be mixed with oil and cooked on a griddle and then crumbled and presented as a grain offering, a smell pleasing to the Lord.

22. For all time to come this offering is to be made by every descendant of Aaron who is serving as High Priest. It shall be completely burnt as a sacrifice to the Lord.

23. No part of a grain offering that a priest makes may be eaten; all of it must be burnt.

24. The Lord commanded Moses

25. to give Aaron and his sons the following regulations for sin offerings. The animal for a sin offering shall be killed on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed. This is a very holy offering.

26. The priest who sacrifices the animal shall eat it in a holy place, the courtyard of the Tent of the Lord's presence.

27. Anyone or anything that touches the flesh of the animal will be harmed by the power of its holiness. If any article of clothing is spattered with the animal's blood, it must be washed in a holy place.

28. Any clay pot in which the meat is boiled must be broken, and if a metal pot is used, it must be scrubbed and rinsed with water.

29. Any male of the priestly families may eat this offering; it is very holy.

30. But if any of the blood is brought into the Tent and used in the ritual to take away sin, the animal must not be eaten; it must be burnt.
