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.”
