¹⁶ When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering^[a](A) and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked, ¹⁷ “Why didn’t you eat the sin offering^(B) in the sanctuary area? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt^(C) of the community by making atonement for them before the Lord. ¹⁸ Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place,^(D) you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.^(E)”

⁹ His sons brought the blood to him,^(A) and he dipped his finger into the blood and put it on the horns of the altar; the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar.^(B)

¹⁵ Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people.^(A) He took the goat for the people’s sin offering and slaughtered it and offered it for a sin offering as he did with the first one.
