Context of Leviticus 6:20

18“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying: ‘This is the Torah of the sin offering. In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin ­offering is to be slaughtered before Adonai. It is most holy. 19The kohen who offers it for sin should eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the Tent of Meeting. Whatever touches its flesh will be holy. When any of its blood is splattered on a garment, you are to wash it in a holy place. 21But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled is to be broken, and if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it is to be scoured, then rinsed in water. 22Every male among the kohanim is to eat of it—it is most holy.

Commentaries on Leviticus 6:20

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 20In the day when he is anointed - Not only in that day, but from that day forward, for this was to them and their successors a statute for ever. See Leviticus 6:22.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 20See Leviticus 4:3. Aaron‘s sons here spoken of (as in Leviticus 6:22) must be the succession of high priests who succeeded him. The day of this offering was probably the eighth day of the ceremony of consecration Leviticus 8:35; Leviticus 9:1, when the high priest appears to have entered upon the duties of his office.
