14. Having washed the inner organs and the shanks, he burned these also with the burnt offering on the altar.

17. He then presented the grain offering; taking a handful of it, he burned it on the altar, in addition to the morning burnt offering.

18. Finally he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the communion sacrifice of the people. When his sons brought him the blood, Aaron splashed it on all sides of the altar.

19. The portions of fat from the ox and from the ram, the fatty tail, the covering fat, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver

20. they placed on top of the briskets. Aaron burned the fat pieces on the altar,

21. but the briskets and the right thigh he raised as an elevated offering before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22. Aaron then raised his hands over the people and blessed them. When he came down from offering the purification offering, the burnt offering, and the communion offering,

23. Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. On coming out they blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.

24. Fire came forth from the Lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. Seeing this, all the people shouted with joy and fell prostrate.
