Leviticus 9:20 In-Context

18 He killed the ox also and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings for the people; and Aaron's sons delivered to him the blood, which he threw upon the altar round about,
19 and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the entrails, and the kidneys, and the appendage of the liver;
20 and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat upon the altar,
21 but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
22 Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings.
