Blood symbolized life and atonement (<a href="/leviticus/17-11.htm">Leviticus 17:11</a>). The blood of certain offerings, such as the sin offering, was to be brought into the holy place and sprinkled before the veil or on the altar of incense (<a href="/leviticus/4-6.htm">Leviticus 4:6-7</a>). This specific instruction highlights the gravity of the priests' role in mediating between God and the people. The failure to bring the blood inside the holy place in this instance indicates a deviation from the prescribed ritual, which was crucial for maintaining the sanctity and order of worship.<p><b>you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area</b><br>The consumption of the sin offering by the priests was a significant part of the atonement process (<a href="/leviticus/6-26.htm">Leviticus 6:26</a>). Eating the offering in the sanctuary area signified the priests' participation in the people's atonement and their role in bearing the iniquity of the congregation (<a href="/leviticus/10-17.htm">Leviticus 10:17</a>). This act also reinforced the holiness required of the priests, as they were to consume the offering in a holy place, emphasizing their consecration and the sacredness of their duties.<p><b>as I commanded.</b><br>God's commands regarding the sacrificial system were detailed and specific, reflecting His holiness and the need for order in worship. The phrase underscores the importance of obedience to God's instructions, as deviation could lead to severe consequences, as seen earlier in the chapter with Nadab and Abihu (<a href="/leviticus/10.htm">Leviticus 10:1-2</a>). This command also points to the broader biblical theme of obedience as a demonstration of faith and reverence for God (<a href="/1_samuel/15-22.htm">1 Samuel 15:22</a>). The priests' adherence to these commands was essential for maintaining the covenant relationship between God and Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who is addressing the situation regarding the sin offering.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron.htm">Aaron</a></b><br>The high priest and brother of Moses, responsible for the priestly duties and rituals.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/e/eleazar_and_ithamar.htm">Eleazar and Ithamar</a></b><br>Sons of Aaron, who were involved in the priestly service and the specific incident in this passage.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sanctuary_area.htm">The Sanctuary Area</a></b><br>The designated holy place where certain offerings were to be consumed by the priests.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sin_offering.htm">The Sin Offering</a></b><br>A specific type of sacrifice in the Levitical system meant to atone for sin, with specific instructions on how it should be handled.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>The passage underscores the importance of following God's instructions precisely.

(See <a href="/context/leviticus/6-25.htm" title="Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.">Leviticus 6:25-26</a>; <a href="/leviticus/10-17.htm" title="Why have you not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?">Leviticus 10:17</a>.)
