Leviticus 9:10-20

10 He burned the fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver from the Absolution-Offering on the Altar, just as God had commanded Moses.

11 He burned the meat and the skin outside the camp.

12 Then he slaughtered the Whole-Burnt-Offering. Aaron's sons handed him the blood and he threw it against each side of the Altar.

13 They handed him the pieces and the head and he burned these on the Altar.

14 He washed the entrails and the legs and burned them on top of the Whole-Burnt-Offering on the Altar.

15 Next Aaron presented the offerings of the people. He took the male goat, the Absolution-Offering for the people, slaughtered it, and offered it as an Absolution-Offering just as he did with the first offering.

16 He presented the Whole-Burnt-Offering following the same procedures.

17 He presented the Grain-Offering by taking a handful of it and burning it on the Altar along with the morning Whole-Burnt-Offering.

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.
