The Laver for the Priestly Washing

17 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “You shall also make (A)a laver of [a]bronze, with its stand of bronze, for washing; and you shall (B)put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it. 19 And Aaron and his sons shall (C)wash their hands and their feet from it; 20 when they come into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, so that they will not die; or when they approach the altar to minister, by offering up in smoke a fire sacrifice to Yahweh. 21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they will not die; and (D)it shall be a perpetual statute for them, for [b]Aaron and his seed throughout their generations.”

Basin for Washing

17 Then the Lord said to Moses, 18 “Make a bronze basin,(A) with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet(B) with water(C) from it. 20 Whenever they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die.(D) Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the Lord, 21 they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance(E) for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”(F)
