Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place, you should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded. Moses' clarification: the sin offering whose blood was not taken into the Holy Place — the individual and leader sin offerings of Leviticus 4 rather than the high priest and community sin offerings — should have been eaten in the sanctuary. The distinction between the sin offerings eaten in the sanctuary and those burned outside the camp is the distinction between the blood's application: inner sanctuary application requires outside-the-camp burning; courtyard-only application requires priestly eating in the sanctuary. Moses expected the priests to know and apply this distinction.
