And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
The verse records a step in Aaron's first priestly service, when the fat was laid upon the breasts and then burned upon the altar. That procedure was the prescribed offering for the occasion, carried out in its appointed order. It was performed exactly as God had commanded, with no departure from His direction. The service was accepted, for divine fire fell and consumed the offering as a manifestation of God's glory and favor.
