25And he must also burn the fat from the sin offering on the altar. 26The person who sent the goat away must wash his clothes and his body. He can return to the camp. Aaron had killed a bull and a goat. He took their blood into the Most Holy Place to make atonement. Someone must carry their dead bodies outside the camp. He must burn them. That man must burn the skin, the meat and the inside parts. 28The man who burnt the animals must wash his clothes and his body. Then he can return to the camp. 29On the tenth day of the seventh month, Israel's people must not eat any food. This is a rule that you must obey for all time. The people who are travelling with them must not eat any food. None of them must do any work.
