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.”
