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 Then Aaron slaughtered the bull and the ram for the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it against all sides of the altar.
19 Then he took the fat of the bull and the ram—the fat of the broad tail and from around the internal organs—along with the kidneys and the long lobes of the livers.
20 He placed these fat portions on top of the breasts of these animals and burned them on the altar.
21 Aaron then lifted up the breasts and right thighs as a special offering to the LORD, just as Moses had commanded.
22 After that, Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. Then, after presenting the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down from the altar.
