Exodus 30:17-21
New American Standard Bible
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.”

American Standard Version
17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, whereat to wash. And thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein. 19 And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat: 20 when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
