Exodus 30:17-21
English Standard Version
The Bronze Basin
17 The Lord said to Moses, 18 “You shall also make a (A)basin of bronze, with its stand of bronze, for washing. (B)You shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it, 19 with which Aaron and his sons (C)shall wash their hands and their feet. 20 When they go into the tent of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn a food offering[a] to the Lord, they shall wash with water, so that they may not die. 21 They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die. It shall (D)be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his offspring throughout their generations.”

Plans for the Washbasin
17 Then the Lord said to Moses, 18 “Make a bronze washbasin with a bronze stand. Place it between the Tabernacle and the altar, and fill it with water. 19 Aaron and his sons will wash their hands and feet there. 20 They must wash with water whenever they go into the Tabernacle to appear before the Lord and when they approach the altar to burn up their special gifts to the Lord—or they will die! 21 They must always wash their hands and feet, or they will die. This is a permanent law for Aaron and his descendants, to be observed from generation to generation.”
