Leviticus 9:18-21
New English Translation
18 Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram—the peace-offering sacrifices which were for the people—and Aaron’s sons handed[a] the blood to him and he splashed it against the altar’s sides. 19 As for the fat parts from the ox and from the ram[b] (the fatty tail, the fat covering the entrails,[c] the kidneys, and the protruding lobe of the liver), 20 they[d] set those on the breasts and he offered the fat parts up in smoke on the altar. 21 Finally Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord just as Moses had commanded.

- Leviticus 9:18 tn See the note on Lev 9:12.
- Leviticus 9:19 tn Heb “And the fat from the ox and from the ram.”
- Leviticus 9:19 tn The text here has only the participle “the cover” or “that which covers,” which is elliptical for “the fat which covers the entrails” (see Lev 3:3, 9, 14; 7:3).
- Leviticus 9:20 tn The plural “they” refers to the sons of Aaron (cf. v. 18). The LXX, Smr, and Syriac have singular “he,” referring to Aaron alone as in the latter half of the verse (the singular is followed here by NLT). Cf. NCV “Aaron’s sons put them.”
Leviticus 9:18-21
New International Version
18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as the fellowship offering for the people.(A) His sons handed him the blood, and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 19 But the fat portions of the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the layer of fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver— 20 these they laid on the breasts, and then Aaron burned the fat on the altar. 21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh before the Lord as a wave offering,(B) as Moses commanded.
