Context of Leviticus 8:22

20When the ram was cut into pieces, Moses burned the head with the other pieces and the fat. 21He washed the internal organs and the legs. Then Moses burned the whole ram on the altar as the Lord commanded him. It was a burnt offering, a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord. He brought forward the second ram for the ordination offering. Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram’s head. 23Moses slaughtered it, took some of the blood, and put it on Aaron’s right ear lobe, on his right thumb, and on the big toe of his right foot. 24Moses also brought Aaron’s sons forward. He put some of the blood on their right ear lobes, on their right thumbs, and on the big toes of their right feet. Moses threw the rest of the blood against all the sides of the altar.
