Leviticus 9:18-24

18 immolavit et bovem atque arietem hostias pacificas populi obtuleruntque ei filii sui sanguinem quem fudit super altare in circuitu
19 adipes autem bovis et caudam arietis renunculosque cum adipibus suis et reticulum iecoris
20 posuerunt super pectora cumque cremati essent adipes in altari
21 pectora eorum et armos dextros separavit Aaron elevans coram Domino sicut praeceperat Moses
22 et tendens manum contra populum benedixit eis sicque conpletis hostiis pro peccato et holocaustis et pacificis descendit
23 ingressi autem Moses et Aaron tabernaculum testimonii et deinceps egressi benedixerunt populo apparuitque gloria Domini omni multitudini
24 et ecce egressus ignis a Domino devoravit holocaustum et adipes qui erant super altare quod cum vidissent turbae laudaverunt Dominum ruentes in facies suas
