Procedure of the Burnt Offering
"When a man from [among] you brings a sacrifice to G‑d . . . If his sacrifice is a burnt offering from cattle..."—Leviticus 1:2-3.
When offering an Olah (completely burnt) sacrifice – whether it's a communal sacrifice or a personal offering – we are commanded to follow the applicable procedure outlined in the Torah.
Partaking of the Burnt Offering
"You may not eat within your gates...the vows which you vow"—Deuteronomy 12:17.
It is forbidden to partake of the flesh of the Olah (burnt) sacrifice—whether before its blood was sprinkled on the altar or afterward, whether in the Holy Temple or outside of it.
This prohibition includes deriving benefit from any of the holy properties [aside for those which the Torah permits].
Procedure of the Sin Offering
"This is the law of the sin-offering..."—Leviticus 6:18.
When offering a Chatat (sin) offering, we are commanded to follow the applicable procedure outlined in the Torah—regarding its slaughter and the parts of the animal that are burnt on the altar and the parts that are consumed [by the priests].
