“Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord: it is most holy.”
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 where the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. The sin offering is slaughtered in the same place as the burnt offering — at the north side of the altar — but its handling thereafter differs significantly. The most holy designation of the sin offering communicates the elevated standard required for its handling: the offering that addresses sin is itself most holy, and what is most holy requires the most careful handling by the most prepared personnel.
