Eat the meat with the bread in the basket by the door of the Tent of Meeting. 32Burn the meat and bread that you do not eat. You must stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting for seven days. This will make you holy. You must stay for seven days to become holy. 34The Lord said that you must do this to atone for your sin. 35Remember that you must stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
