The verb בּוֹא (bo) means 'to come' or 'to go in', indicating movement towards a place. In this context, it is in the Hophal form, which means 'it was brought', emphasizing the action of bringing the blood into the holy place.
This verb is crucial in understanding the sacrificial system, as it highlights the necessity of following God's instructions regarding the offerings, particularly the importance of the blood in atonement rituals.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is הוּבָ֣א, it was brought, which governs the structure. The sentence includes several phrases: a negation indicating what was not done, a prepositional phrase describing where the blood was not brought, and an imperative phrase instructing what should have been done.
The order of the Hebrew words emphasizes the action of the blood not being brought into the holy place, which is central to the command that follows regarding its consumption.

(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…

(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.

The Samaritan Pentateuch agrees with the Masoretic Text except for one word: it uses אכל instead of the verb form in the MT. The Dead Sea Scrolls show that some words are partially restored, but the overall meaning remains consistent with the MT.

1. The Terms:
The tabernacle consisted of two divisions to which a graduated scale of holiness is attached: "The veil shall separate unto you between the holy place and the most holy" (Ex 26:33). This distinction was never abrogated. In the Epistle to the Hebrews these divisions are called the "first" and "second" tabernacles (Heb 9:6 f). The term "holy place" is not indeed confined to the outer chamber of the sanctuary; in Le 6:16, it is applied to "the court of the tent of meeting." But the…
Holy place
One of the two portions into which the tabernacle was divided (Ex. 26:31; 37:17-25; Heb. 9:2). It was 20 cubits long and 10 in height and breadth. It was illuminated by the golden candlestick, as it had no opening to admit the light. It contained the table of showbread (Ex. 25:23-29) and the golden altar of incense (30:1-11). It was divided from the holy of holies by a veil of the most costly materials and the brightest colours.
The arrangement of the temple (q.v.) was the same in this respect. In it the walls of hewn stone were wainscotted with cedar and overlaid with gold, and adorned with beautiful carvings. It was entered from the porch by folding doors overlaid with gold and richly embossed. Outside the holy…
