Leviticus 9:10-20

10 But the fat and the kidneys and the fat on the liver of the sin-offering were burned by him on the altar as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

11 And the flesh and the skin were burned with fire outside the tent-circle;

12 And he put to death the burned offering; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

13 And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar.

14 And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar.

15 And he made an offering for the people and took the goat of the sin-offering for the people and put it to death, offering it for sin, in the same way as the first.

16 And he took the burned offering, offering it in the ordered way;

17 And he put the meal offering before the Lord, and taking some of it in his hand he had it burned on the altar, separately from the burned offering of the morning.

18 And he put to death the ox and the sheep, which were the peace-offerings for the people; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

19 And as for the fat of the ox and the fat tail of the sheep and the fat covering the inside parts and the kidneys and the fat on the liver;

20 They put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar.
