Leviticus
Leviticus 8:27–29
27He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved them before the LORD as a wave offering.
28Then Moses took these from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD. 29He also took the breast — Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination — and waved it before the LORD as a wave offering, as the LORD had commanded him.
