The table below presents presents
two contradictory verses.
Both verses talk about
the consumption of sin offerings.
The underlined words highlight the contradiction.
One verse says
all priests will eat it
while the other verse says
the priest who offers it will eat it
Which is it?
Did all priests eat the sin offering, or
did only the priest offering the sin offering it.
Rashi simply resolves this using the broad-literal method:
All priests ate the sin offering provided
the priests consuming the sacrifice were qualified
to offer the sin offering (That is, they were potential
offerers.) In other words, invalid priests could not
consume the sin offering.
