利未記6:24-30

6:24 耶和華曉諭摩西說：
6:25 「你對亞倫和他的子孫說，贖罪祭的條例乃是這樣：要在耶和華面前、宰燔祭牲的地方宰贖罪祭牲；這是至聖的。
6:26 為贖罪獻這祭的祭司要吃，要在聖處，就是在會幕的院子裡吃。
6:27 凡摸這祭肉的要成為聖；這祭牲的血若彈在甚麼衣服上，所彈的那一件要在聖處洗淨。
6:28 惟有煮祭物的瓦器要打碎；若是煮在銅器裡，這銅器要擦磨，在水中涮淨。
6:29 凡祭司中的男丁都可以吃；這是至聖的。
6:30 凡贖罪祭，若將血帶進會幕在聖所贖罪，那肉都不可吃，必用火焚燒。」

²⁴ The Lord said to Moses, ²⁵ “Say to Aaron and his sons: ‘These are the regulations for the sin offering: The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. ²⁶ The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting. ²⁷ Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in the sanctuary area. ²⁸ The clay pot the meat is cooked in must be broken; but if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot is to be scoured and rinsed with water. ²⁹ Any male in a priest’s family may eat it; it is most holy. ³⁰ But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place must not be eaten; it must be burned up.

    祭司承受聖職，所以可以吃獻祭的祭物，除了贖罪日的祭物不可以吃，要用火焚燒，如30節所說：「凡贖罪祭，若將血帶進會幕在聖所贖罪，那肉都不可吃，必用火焚燒。」

    這也告訴祭司上帝所允許的，他們才可以吃、才可以喝，不可以照自己的喜歡，而是要活出上帝所喜歡的生命，如此成為上帝的祭司才是有意義的，才會樂意是奉上帝！

    求主幫助我們，讓我們照上帝的心意來服事，完成上帝在我們身上要成就的祭司職分，來榮耀主名！
