Leviticus 10:17-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. "Why did you not eat the sacrifice for sin in the holy place, which is the Holy of holies, and which was given to you, so that you might carry the iniquity of the people, and might pray for them in the sight of the Lord,

18. especially since none of its blood has been brought into the holy places, and since you should have eaten it in the Sanctuary, as was instructed me?"

19. Aaron responded: "This day, the victim for sin has been offered, and the holocaust in the sight of the Lord. But you see what has happened to me. How could I eat it, or please the Lord in the ceremonies, having a sorrowful mind?"

20. But when Moses had heard this, he was satisfied.
