He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,17“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD.18Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”
