The Problem Of The Uneaten Sin Offering

18 Since its blood was not brought inside the sanctuary, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.” 19 But Aaron replied to Moses, “See, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the Lord’s sight?” 20 When Moses heard this, it was acceptable to him.
