Leviticus 8:20

18 Then Moses presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

19 Moses slaughtered the ram and sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat.

21 He washed the entrails and legs with water and burned the entire ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

22 After that, Moses presented the other ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
