v17 Moses said to them, ‘This gift was for the Lord. It was a very holy gift. It was to atone for the people’s sins. Why did you not take it to the holy place and eat it?
v18 You did not bring the blood into the holy place. I told you that you must eat its meat in the Tent of Meeting.’
v19 Aaron said to Moses, ‘My sons sacrificed their gifts to the Lord today. But very bad things have happened to me today. I would not have given the Lord any pleasure if I had eaten the sin offering today.’
v20 When Moses heard this, he was not angry any longer.
