Context
The Burnt Offering for the Priests
9:12 He then slaughtered the burnt offering , and his sons handed the blood to him and he splashed it against the altar’s sides .
9:13 The burnt offering itself they handed to him by its parts , including the head , and he offered them up in smoke on the altar ,
9:14 and he washed the entrails and the legs and offered them up in smoke on top of the burnt offering on the altar .
The Offerings for the People
9:15 Then he presented the people’s offering . He took the sin offering male goat which was for the people , slaughtered it, and performed a decontamination rite with it like the first one.
9:16 He then presented the burnt offering , and did it according to the standard regulation .
9:17 Next he presented the grain offering , filled his hand with some of it, and offered it up in smoke on the altar in addition to the morning burnt offering .
9:18 Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram – the peace offering sacrifices which were for the people – and Aaron’s sons handed the blood to him and he splashed it against the altar’s sides .
9:19 As for the fat parts from the ox and from the ram (the fatty tail , the fat covering the entrails, the kidneys , and the protruding lobe of the liver ),
9:20 they set those on the breasts and he offered the fat parts up in smoke on the altar .
9:21 Finally Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord just as Moses had commanded .
9:22 Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them and descended from making the sin offering , the burnt offering , and the peace offering .
9:23 Moses and Aaron then entered into the Meeting Tent . When they came out , they blessed the people , and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people .
9:24 Then fire went out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat parts on the altar , and all the people saw it, so they shouted loudly and fell down with their faces to the ground.
