Leviticus 9:20

Read in context

Leviticus 9:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram as the people’s peace offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on all sides of the altar.

19 They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver—

20 and placed these on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar,

21 but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses had commanded.

22 Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them. And having made the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down.
