Context of Leviticus 6:26
24And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 25Speak 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. The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation. 27Whatever shall touch the flesh of it shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of its blood upon any garment, thou shalt wash that on which it was sprinkled in the holy place. 28But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken: and if it shall be boiled in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 21-3025-28. This is the law of the sin offering--It was slain, and the fat and inwards, after being washed and salted, were burnt upon the altar. But the rest of the carcass belonged to the officiating priest.

The flesh on all…Read the comment
