Cross References

ReferenceText (BSB)
1 Leviticus 6:30 But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it must be burned.
2 Leviticus 6:26 The priest who offers it shall eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.

Leviticus 10:18 Summary

This verse is saying that the priests should have eaten the sin offering in the sanctuary area because the blood was not brought inside the holy place, as God had commanded. This was an important part of the ritual of atonement, and it shows us that God is serious about His commands being followed, as seen in Deuteronomy 8:1-5. Just like the priests had to follow God's instructions carefully, we too should strive to obey God's commands and seek to understand His ways, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:1-6 and John 14:15. By doing so, we can experience the forgiveness and cleansing that comes through Jesus' sacrifice, as described in 1 John 1:9 and Hebrews 10:19-22.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of eating the sin offering in the sanctuary area?

Eating the sin offering in the sanctuary area was a way for the priests to acknowledge and take on the guilt of the congregation, as commanded by God, and as seen in Leviticus 10:17, which states that the sin offering is 'most holy' and was given to the priests to 'take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD'

Why did Moses emphasize that the blood was not brought inside the holy place?

Moses emphasized this point because the ritual of the sin offering required the blood to be brought inside the holy place, but in this instance, it was not, and therefore the priests should have eaten the offering in the sanctuary area, as God had commanded, similar to the instructions given in Leviticus 6:30

How does this verse relate to the concept of atonement in the Bible?

This verse highlights the importance of following God's instructions for atonement, as seen in Leviticus 10:18, where Moses reminds the priests that they should have eaten the sin offering in the sanctuary area, demonstrating that atonement requires careful obedience to God's commands, as also emphasized in Exodus 12:14 and Hebrews 9:22

What can we learn from Moses' interaction with Aaron's sons in this verse?

We can learn the importance of humility and seeking to understand God's commands, as seen in Moses' conversation with Aaron's sons, and also the value of gentle correction and guidance, as Moses listens to Aaron's explanation and is satisfied, similar to the example of Jesus' interaction with his disciples in Matthew 9:10-13

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I can 'eat' or internalize the sacrifice that Jesus made for me, and how can I apply the concept of atonement to my own life, as described in Romans 5:8-11?
  2. In what ways do I struggle to follow God's commands, and how can I seek to obey Him more fully, as encouraged in Deuteronomy 11:1 and Matthew 22:37-40?
  3. How can I, like the priests in this verse, take on the guilt and shame of those around me, and point them to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, as described in 1 Peter 2:9-10 and 1 John 2:2?
  4. What are some areas in my life where I need to seek forgiveness and make amends, and how can I apply the principles of atonement to those situations, as seen in Psalm 51:1-19 and Luke 15:11-32?

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 10:18

Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place,.... When that was the case, indeed, the flesh of the sin offering was not to be eaten, but burnt, see Leviticus 6:30 but this was not

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 10:18

And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying, Moses diligently

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 10:18

The blood of it was not brought in within the holy place; the reason whereof was, because Aaron was not yet admitted into the holy place, whither that blood should have been brought, till he had prepared the way by the sacrifices which were to be offered in the court.

Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 10:18

Leviticus 10:18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy [place]: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy [place], as I commanded.Ver. 18. Ye should indeed have eaten it.] Thus, by misreckoning a point, ye have missed the haven, and hazarded yourselves to the rocks of the divine displeasure, against which your brethren so lately split. God is usually most angry when he is about a reformation; as here against Nadab and Abihu: so afterwards against Uzzah, Ananias and Sapphira, &c.

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 10:18

(18) Behold, the blood of it.—According to the sacrificial law, the flesh of the sin offerings (the blood of which was not carried into the sanctuary) had to be eaten by the priests alone, in a holy place, as a part of the expiatory rites. (See Leviticus 6:25-26; Leviticus 10:17.) It was the flesh of those sin offerings, the blood of which was carried into the sanctuary, which had to be burnt. (See Leviticus 4:5; Leviticus 4:16; Leviticus 6:23; Leviticus 6:30.) Now the blood of the people’s sin-offering which was offered on this occasion was not carried into the sanctuary. (See Leviticus 9:9.) Ye should indeed have eaten it.—Hence its flesh should have been eaten by Aaron and his two sons in the court-yard of the sanctuary, as Moses commanded in Leviticus 6:26.

Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 10:18

14. For the ‘wave breast’ and the ‘heave thigh’ see Appendix IV, pp. 183 ff. (6) Aaron’s excuse for not eating the Sin-Offering (16–20) The Sin-Offering is that of Lev 9:15 which was offered as the first, i.e. as Aaron’s, Sin-Offering, and burnt without the camp (Leviticus 9:11). This burning (as opposed to eating by the priests) should only have taken place, if (as was not done in this case) the blood had been brought into the ‘tent of meeting.’ Moses is angry with Aaron’s sons, but they acted under direction, and Aaron acknowledges his responsibility by replying.

Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 10:18

“The holy place,” as it is called in our version, within the tabernacle (see Exodus 26:33; Exodus 28:29, etc.) into which the blood was carried, is regularly called in Hebrew, simply, “the holy” (as

Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 10:18
