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.
from The Sin Offering, Leviticus 6:24-30
What it says

Anything touching the flesh becomes holy, and blood spattered on a garment must be washed in a holy place.

What it is doing

It shows how the offering’s holiness governs contact and cleansing.

In context

24And the LORD said to Moses, 25“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. 26The priest who offers it shall eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. 27Anything 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. 28The clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled must be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze pot, the pot must be scoured and rinsed with water. 29Any male among the priests may eat it; it is most holy. 30But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place; it must be burned.[’’]
