(Exodus 30:17-21) And Adonoy spoke to Moses to say: Make a copper laver and a copper base, for washing; and place it between the Tent of Meeting and the Altar, and put water in it. Aaron and his sons will wash from it, their hands and their feet.1His right hand was held above his right foot, the left hand above the left foot and all were washed simultaneously.—Maseches Zevachim 59 Upon entering the Tent of Meeting they will wash with water that they not die, or whenever they approach the Altar to serve, to burn a fire-offering to Adonoy. They will wash their hands and feet that they not die; and this is for them a perpetual statute for him [Aaron], and his descendants for all their generations.
וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־משֶׁה לֵּאמֹר: וְעָשִֽׂיתָ כִּיּוֹר נְחֽשֶׁת וְכַנּוֹ נְחֽשֶׁת לְרָחְצָה וְנָתַתָּ אֹתוֹ בֵּין־אֹֽהֶל מוֹעֵד וּבֵין הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ וְנָתַתָּ שָֽׁמָּה מָֽיִם: וְרָחֲצוּ אַהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו מִמֶּֽנּוּ אֶת־יְדֵיהֶם וְאֶת־רַגְלֵיהֶם: בְּבֹאָם אֶל־אֹֽהֶל מוֹעֵד יִרְחֲצוּ־מַֽיִם וְלֹא יָמֻֽתוּ אוֹ בְגִשְׁתָּם אֶל־הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ לְשָׁרֵת לְהַקְטִיר אִשֶּׁה לַיהוָֹה: וְרָחֲצוּ יְדֵיהֶם וְרַגְלֵיהֶם וְלֹא יָמֻֽתוּ וְהָיְ֒תָה לָהֶם חָק־עוֹלָם לוֹ וּלְזַרְעוֹ לְדֹרֹתָם:
