Midrash for Leviticus 9:18

וַיִּשְׁחַ֤ט אֶת־הַשּׁוֹר֙ וְאֶת־הָאַ֔יִל זֶ֥בַח הַשְּׁלָמִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָעָ֑ם וַ֠יַּמְצִאוּ בְּנֵ֨י אַהֲרֹ֤ן אֶת־הַדָּם֙ אֵלָ֔יו וַיִּזְרְקֵ֥הוּ עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ סָבִֽיב׃

He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people; and Aaron’s sons delivered unto him the blood, and he dashed it against the altar round about,

Sifra

13) (Vayikra 9:18): "And he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, which was the people's": From here we learn of peace-offerings. (Vayikra 9:21): "And the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved as a wave-offering before the L–rd": To teach us the greatness of Aaron and of his sons — that in a brief time they mastered seven (sacrificial) services: slaughtering, receiving (of the blood), dashing, sprinkling, purification, spilling and waving.
