20 and they put the fat on the breasts. aThen he burned the fat on the altar;
21 but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved aas a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.
22 Then Aaron lifted his hand toward the people, ablessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people,
24 and afire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they bshouted and fell on their cfaces.

Leviticus 9:22-24
They fell on their faces out of fear, reverence, respect, awe, and wonder from the knowledge that God was in their midst. The last verse shows that God accepted Aaron and the priests because everything was done according to His will.
