Levítico 8:18 Midrash: Sifra & Midrash Tanchuma Buber

17) (Vayikra 8:18) "And he presented the ram of the burnt-offering, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the head of the ram.": From here we derive the requirement of semichah for a burnt-offering. (Vayikra 8:19): "And he slaughtered, and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar roundabout.": From here we derive the requirement of sprinkling for a burnt-offering. (Vayikra 8:20): "And he cut the ram into its pieces": Everything stated explicitly about an individual burnt-offering is stated here, except flaying. And some say there is no cutting into pieces without flaying.

18) "and Moses smoked the head, and the pieces, and the suet": as it is written (Vayikra 1:12): "And he shall cut it into its pieces, and its head and its suet." (Vayikra 8:21): "And the innards and the legs he washed with water": as it is written (Vayikra 1:13): "And the innards and the legs he shall wash with water." (Vayikra 8:21) "and Moses smoked the whole ram upon the altar": as it is written (Vayikra 1:13): "and he shall smoke it upon the altar." (Vayikra 8:21): "It is a burnt-offering for a sweet savor": as it is written (Vayikra 1:13): "a fire-offering, a sweet savor to the L–rd." From here it is derived that all (the limbs of the burnt-offering) are consigned to the fire.
