"Thou shalt also make a laver of
brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and
thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the
congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water
therein. For Aaron
and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet
thereat: When they go into the
tabernacle of the congregation,
they shall wash with
water, that they die not; or when they
come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering
made by fire unto YHVH:
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."

garments; therefore
shall he wash his flesh in water, and so
put them on."
