Leviticus 9:18-24 Common English Bible (CEB)

18. Aaron then slaughtered the ox and the ram—the people’s communal sacrifice of well-being. Aaron’s sons handed him the blood, which he tossed against all sides of the altar,

19. and the fat pieces of the ox and ram—the fat tail, the covering fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver.

20. They placed these fat pieces on the animals’ breasts, and Aaron completely burned them on the altar.

21. But Aaron lifted up the breasts and the right thigh as an uplifted offering before the Lord, just as Moses had commanded.

22. Aaron then raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. After performing the purification offering, the entirely burned offering, and the well-being sacrifice, he came down.

23. Moses and Aaron then entered the meeting tent. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the Lord’s glorious presence appeared to all the people.

24. Fire flew out from before the Lord and devoured the entirely burned offering and the fat pieces on the altar. All the people saw it. They shouted for joy and fell facedown.
