Context of Leviticus 8:16

14Then he brought near the sin offering bull and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the sin offering bull, 15and he slaughtered it. Moses then took the blood and put it all around on the horns of the altar with his finger and decontaminated the altar, and he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and so consecrated it to make atonement on it. Then he took all the fat on the entrails, the protruding lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses offered it all up in smoke on the altar, 17but the rest of the bull – its hide, its flesh, and its dung – he completely burned up outside the camp just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 18Then he presented the burnt offering ram and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,
