Leviticus 6:26

26: The priest who offers the sacrifice may eat his portion in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.

"Why didn't you eat the sin offering in the sanctuary area?" he demanded. "It is a holy offering! It was given to you for removing the guilt of the community and for making atonement for the people before the LORD.
Since the animal's blood was not taken into the Holy Place, you should have eaten the meat in the sanctuary area as I ordered you."

"As to property, the priests will not have any, for I alone am their inheritance.
Their food will come from the gifts and sacrifices brought to the Temple by the people--the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings. Whatever anyone sets apart for the LORD will belong to the priests.

"The priests get fed when the people sin and bring their sin offerings to them. So the priests are glad when the people sin!

Then the man told me, "These rooms that overlook the Temple from the north and south are holy. It is there that the priests who offer sacrifices to the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. And they will use these rooms to store the grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings because these rooms are holy.

He explained, "This is where the priests will cook the meat from the guilt offerings and sin offerings and bake the flour from the grain offerings into bread. They will do it here to avoid carrying the sacrifices through the outer courtyard and harming the people by transmitting holiness to them."

After burning this handful, the rest of the flour will belong to Aaron and his sons for their food. It must, however, be baked without yeast and eaten in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.

Then he hung the curtains forming the courtyard around the Tabernacle and the altar. And he set up the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard. So at last Moses finished the work.

"Then make a courtyard for the Tabernacle, enclosed with curtains made from fine linen. On the south side the curtains will stretch for 150 feet.
They will be held up by twenty bronze posts that fit into twenty bronze bases. The curtains will be held up with silver hooks attached to the silver rods that are attached to the posts.
It will be the same on the north side of the courtyard--150 feet of curtains held up by twenty posts fitted into bronze bases, with silver hooks and rods.
The curtains on the west end of the courtyard will be 75 feet long, supported by ten posts set into ten bases.
The east end will also be 75 feet long.

You are allotted the portion of the most holy offerings that is kept from the fire. From all the most holy offerings--including the grain offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings--that portion belongs to you and your sons.
You must eat it as a most holy offering. All the males may eat of it, and you must treat it as most holy.

Then he constructed the courtyard. The south wall was 150 feet long. It consisted of curtains made of fine linen.
There were twenty posts, each with its own bronze base, and there were silver hooks and rods to hold up the curtains.
The north wall was also 150 feet long, with twenty bronze posts and bases and with silver hooks and rods.
The west end was 75 feet wide. The walls were made from curtains supported by ten posts and bases and with silver hooks and rods.
The east end was also 75 feet wide.
