(6) Aaron's excuse for not eating the Sin-Offering(16 20)

The Sin-Offering is that of Leviticus 9:15 which was offered as the first, i.e. as Aaron's, Sin-Offering, and burnt without the camp (Leviticus 9:11). This burning (as opposed to eating by the priests) should only have taken place, if (as was not done in this case) the blood had been brought into the -tent of meeting." Moses is angry with Aaron's sons, but they acted under direction, and Aaron acknowledges his responsibility by replying.
