“And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,”
When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's remaining sons. He asked. After the deaths and the instruction, a new crisis: the sin offering goat that should have been eaten by the priests in the sanctuary has been burned up. Moses' inquiry reveals that the surviving sons have departed from the prescribed procedure. The burning up of the sin offering goat is unexpected and unexplained at first — Moses' anger communicates that it appears to be a violation of the regulations. The first test of the priestly system's proper administration reveals an apparent failure.
