Leviticus 9:20 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 9:20

And they put the fat upon the breasts
Both of the bullock and of the ram, while they were waving: and he burnt the fat upon the altar;
after having been waved.

Leviticus 9:20 In-Context

18 He slaughtered the bull and the ram, the people's Peace-Offerings. Aaron's sons handed him the blood and he threw it against each side of the Altar.
19 The fat pieces from the bull and the ram - the fat tail and the fat that covers the kidney and the lobe of the liver -
20 they laid on the breasts and Aaron burned it on the Altar.
21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh before God as a Wave-Offering, just as God commanded.
22 Aaron lifted his hands over the people and blessed them. Having completed the rituals of the Absolution-Offering, the Whole-Burnt-Offering, and the Peace-Offering, he came down from the Altar.
