17 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “You shall also make (A)a basin of [a]bronze, with its base 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 Aaron and his sons shall (C)wash their hands and their feet from it; 20 when they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, so that they do not die; or when they approach the altar to minister, by offering up in smoke a fire sacrifice to the Lord. 21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they do not die; and (D)it shall be a permanent statute for them, for [b]Aaron and his [c]descendants throughout their generations.”

The Bronze Basin

17 The Lord told Moses, 18 “You are to make a bronze basin with a bronze base for washing. You are to pace it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, put water in it,[a] 19 and Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and their feet from it. 20 When they enter the Tent of Meeting or when they approach the altar to minister to make an offering by fire to the Lord, they are to wash with water so they don’t die. 21 They are to wash their hands and their feet so that they don’t die, and it is to be for them a perpetual ordinance for Aaron[b] and his seed from generation to generation.”
