And Moses took the fat

on Leviticus 8:25-28

The fat portions and the right thigh are put in the hands of Aaron and his sons. Then Moses took these from their hands and burned them, so the first thing a priest holds in office is what he gives away.

This site's exposition

put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons

Moses places the portions on the priests' hands, and the waving is done before the LORD. John Gill, at verse 29, describes this waving as done with Moses' hands under the hands of Aaron and his sons.

proposed

After the sin offering and burnt offering had been presented on their behalf, this was their peace offering, by which they declared the pleasure which they felt in entering upon the service of God and being brought into close communion with Him as the ministers of His sanctuary, together with their confident reliance on His grace to help them in all their sacred duties.
