Context of Leviticus 9:14

12Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering, then his sons presented the blood to him and he splashed it around on the altar. 13They handed the burnt offering to him piece by piece, along with the head, and he burned them up as smoke on the altar. He washed the innards and the legs and he offered them in smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar. 15Then he presented the people’s gift, took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, slaughtered it, and offered it for sin, just like the first one. 16He presented the burnt offering and offered it according to the decree.
