or has found what was lost and lied about it and sworn falsely, so that he sins regarding any of the things that people do;

"So every grain offering of the priest shall be burned entirely. It shall not be eaten."

So Moses did just as the LORD commanded him. When the congregation was assembled at the doorway of the tent of meeting,

So Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

"At the doorway of the tent of meeting, moreover, you shall remain day and night for seven days and fulfill your duty to the LORD, so that you will not die; for so I have been commanded."

So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the whole congregation came near and stood before the LORD.

And Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the LORD may appear to you."

Moses then said to Aaron, "Come near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, so that you may make atonement for yourself and for the people; then make the offering for the people, so that you may make atonement for them, just as the LORD has commanded."

So Aaron came near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering which was for himself.

So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, to an area outside the camp, just as Moses had said.

Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you do not die and He does not become wrathful against all the congregation. But your kinsmen, the entire house of Israel, shall weep for the burning which the LORD has brought about.

"You shall not even go out from the doorway of the tent of meeting, or you will die; for the LORD'S anointing oil is upon you." So they did according to the word of Moses.

"Do not drink wine or strong drink, neither you nor your sons with you, when you come into the tent of meeting, so that you do not die—it is a permanent statute throughout your generations—

and so as to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them through Moses."

"You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your allotted portion and your sons' allotted portion from the LORD'S offerings by fire; for so I have been commanded.
