The Pulpit Commentary on Leviticus 6:24-30

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Further ritual of the sin offering (see note on Leviticus 4:2). The flesh of the sin offerings is to be eaten by the priests and the males of their families in the holy place, that is, within the precincts of the sanctuary, with the exception of the sin offerings of the high priest and of the congregation, whereof … the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, which was to be burnt in the fire without the camp. The holiness of the offering is manifested:

1. By the command that no drop of the blood which might have been accidentally spilt upon the offerer's dress should be taken out of the tabernacle court.

2. By the order to break or scour the pot in which it was boiled for the priests' eating.
