Positive Commandment 89
The Priests' Eating Portions of an Animal Offering

Exodus 29:33 "And they shall eat those things [the sacrifices] with which atonement was made"

When a sin offering or guilt offering is brought, it is a Mitzvah for the priest to eat from those portions that were not offered on the altar.

The eating of the meat is part of the atonement for the person who brings the sacrifice.


Negative Commandment 145
We are forbidden to eat the meat of a sin-or guilt-offering outside the Sanctuary

Deuteronomy 12:17 "You may not eat within your gates...the first- born of your herds or flocks"

Sometimes, portions of the sacrifices are eaten by the priests and others, by the person who brings them.

he sin-offerings and guilt-offerings must be eaten in the specific area of the Beit HaMikdash called the "Azarah", the Temple courtyard.

We are cautioned not to eat this sacrificial meat anywhere outside this area. (This Negative Mitzvah applies to priests as well.)


Negative Commandment 148
A Priest is forbidden to eat any of the first-fruits outside of Jerusalem

Deuteronomy 12:17 "You may not eat within your gates...the offering of your hand"

The first-fruits of the crop (Bikurim) must be brought to Jerusalem and given to the priest (See Positive Mitzvah 125).

This Negative Mitzvah prohibits the priest from eating these first-fruits outside of Jerusalem.

There are three places regarding which the nations cannot accuse Israel and say, "You have stolen them": the cave of Machpeilah, as it is written: "And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver" (Genesis 23:16); the Temple Mount, as it is written, "So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold" (I Chronicles 21:25); and Joseph's tomb -- "And [Jacob] bought the parcel of land for a hundred pieces of silver" (Genesis 33:19)
