Leviticus 9:8-24
8So Aaron approached the altar and slaughtered the sin offering calf which was for himself.
9Then Aaron’s sons presented the blood to him and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, and the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar.
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.
12He 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.
15Then he presented the people’s offering. He took the sin offering male goat which was for the people, slaughtered it, and performed a decontamination rite with it like the first one.
16He then presented the burnt offering, and did it according to the standard regulation.
17Next he presented the grain offering, filled his hand with some of it, and offered it up in smoke on the altar in addition to the morning burnt offering.
18Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram – the peace offering sacrifices which were for the people – and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him and he splashed it against the altar’s sides.
19As for the fat parts from the ox and from the ram (the fatty tail, the fat covering the entrails, the kidneys, and the protruding lobe of the liver),
20they set those on the breasts and he offered the fat parts up in smoke on the altar.
21Finally Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord just as Moses had commanded.
22Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them and descended from making the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering.
23Moses and Aaron then entered into the Meeting Tent. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24Then fire went out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat parts on the altar, and all the people saw it, so they shouted loudly and fell down with their faces to the ground.
