²²And the priest that rightfully succeedeth his father, shall offer it hot, for a most sweet odour to the Lord: and it shall be wholly burnt on the altar.

²³For every sacrifice of the priest shall be consumed with fire: neither shall any man eat thereof.

²⁴And the Lord spoke to Moses. saying:

²⁵Say to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the victim for sin. In the place where the holocaust is offered, it shall be immolated before the Lord. It is holy of holies.

²⁶The priest that offereth it, shall eat it in a holy place, in the court of the tabernacle.

²⁷Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be sanctified. If a garment be sprinkled with the blood thereof, it shall be washed in a holy place.

²⁸And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall be broken: but if the vessel be of brass, it shall be scoured, and washed with water.

²⁹Every male of the priestly race shall eat of the flesh thereof, because it is holy of holies.

³⁰For the victim that is slain for sin, the blood of which is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire.
