This site's exposition

He slew also the bullock and the ram

on Leviticus 9:18-21

The peace offerings come last, and by the rule of 7:15 these are the parts a worshipper eats. The offerer's list in chapters 1 to 5 puts the peace offering third and the priest's list at 6:8 to 7:38 moves it to the end, and Aaron's first service follows the priest's order. The breasts and the right shoulder are waved and become the portion of the priests, so a day that opened with Aaron's own sin closes with food on his table.
