Context of Leviticus 9:12

10The fat and the kidneys and the protruding lobe of the liver from the sin offering he offered up in smoke on the altar just as the Lord had commanded Moses, 11but the flesh and the hide he completely burned up outside the camp. He then slaughtered the burnt offering, and his sons handed the blood to him and he splashed it against the altar’s sides. 13The burnt offering itself they handed to him by its parts, including the head, and he offered them up in smoke on the altar, 14and he washed the entrails and the legs and offered them up in smoke on top of the burnt offering on the altar.
