The clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled
on Leviticus 6:28-30
Verse 30 lifts one class out of the eating rule: where the blood was brought into the Tent of Meeting, the meat is burned. Chapter 16 applies it on the Day of Atonement.
This site's exposition
Any male among the priests may eat it
Verse 26 gave the flesh to the priest who offered it, and this verse opens it to every male among the priests. John Gill reads the two together: the officiating priest shared the meal with his male children and the other priests on duty.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And all the males among the priests shall eat thereof,.... As of the meat offerings, Lev 6:18 and this shows that not the single priest that offered only ate of it, Lev 6:26 but his male children, and not those only, but those of other priests then upon duty, or in the court: it is most holy; See Gill on Lev 6:25.
