Leviticus 10:10-18 Good News Bible (GNB)

10. You must distinguish between what belongs to God and what is for general use, between what is ritually clean and what is unclean.

11. You must teach the people of Israel all the laws which I have given to you through Moses.”

12. Moses said to Aaron and his two remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that is left over from the food offered to the Lord, make unleavened bread with it and eat it beside the altar, because this offering is very holy.

13. Eat it in a holy place; it is the part that belongs to you and your sons from the food offered to the Lord. That is what the Lord commanded me.

14. But you and your families may eat the breast and the hind leg that are presented as the special gift and the special contribution to the Lord for the priests. You may eat them in any ritually clean place. These offerings have been given to you and your children as the part that belongs to you from the fellowship offerings of the people of Israel.

15. They shall bring the hind leg and the breast at the time the fat is presented as a food offering to the Lord. These parts belong to you and your children for ever, just as the Lord commanded.”

16. Moses asked about the goat for the sin offering and learnt that it had already been burnt. This made him angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, and he demanded,

17. “Why didn't you eat the sin offering in a sacred place? It is very holy, and the Lord has given it to you in order to take away the sin of the community.

18. Since its blood was not brought into the sacred tent, you should have eaten the sacrifice there, as I commanded.”
