“But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the Lord commanded Moses.”
On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering, as the Lord commanded Moses. The fat portions burned on the altar follow the prescription of Leviticus 4:8–10. The command formula — as the Lord commanded Moses — confirms that Aaron's first official act follows the divine specification exactly. Aaron who was instructed in the ways of the Lord through the ordination ceremony now applies those instructions in his first act of official service. The knowledge received during the seven days of ordination is demonstrated in the first day of ministry.
