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.”

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.”
