Leviticus 9:15-24

15 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which [was] the sin-offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.

16 And he brought the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the manner.

17 And he brought the meat-offering, and took a handful of it, and burnt [it] upon the altar, beside the burnt-sacrifice of the morning.

18 He slew also the bullock and the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which [was] for the people: and Aaron's sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled around upon the altar,

19 And the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul [above] the liver:

20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:

21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved [for] a wave-offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.

22 And Aaron lifted up his hand towards the people, and blessed them; and came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and peace-offerings.

23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

24 And there came out a fire from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt-offering and the fat: [which], when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
