Exodus 30:17-21

The Laver for the Priestly Washing

17 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “You shall also make ^aa laver of ¹bronze, with its stand of bronze, for washing; and you shall ^bput it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it. 19 And Aaron and his sons shall ^awash 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 ^ait shall be a perpetual statute for them, for ¹Aaron and his seed throughout their generations.”
