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.”

The Bronze Basin

17 The Lord said to Moses, 18 “You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base of bronze, for washing. And 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 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 an offering by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die. 21 They shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die: it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.”
