Put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet with water from it. 20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they must wash with water so that they will not die.

This shall be a permanent regulation for them, for Aaron and for his descendants throughout their generations.”
