Leviticus 6:25

23 Every grain offering for a priest shall be burned completely; it is not to be eaten.”

24 And the LORD said to Moses,

“Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the LORD; it is most holy.

26 The priest who offers it shall eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.

27 Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in a holy place.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
