שהזהיר הכהנים מאכול בשר חטאות הנעשות בפנים. והוא אמרו יתעלה וכל חטאת אשר יובא מדמה אל הקדש וגו'. ומי שאכל מהם לוקה. ולשון ספרי לא תאכל באש תשרף כל שהוא טעון שריפה הרי הוא בלא תעשה על אכילתו. (שם, שם פי"א):

Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf

That He prohibited the priests from eating the meat of sin-offerings processed inside [the Sanctuary]. And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, "Every sin-offering whose blood is to be brought to the [...] Sanctuary, etc." (Leviticus 6:23). And one who eats of them is lashed. And the language of the [Sifra] (Sifra, Tzav, Chapter 8:7) is, "'It may not be eaten; it must be burned with fire' - anything that involves burning, involves a negative commandment for its eating. (See Parashat Tzav; Mishneh Torah, Sacrificial Procedure 11.)
