The Bronze Basin(A)

17 Yahweh said to Moses, 18 “Make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and fill it with water. 19 Aaron and his sons will use it for washing their hands and feet. 20 Before they go into the tent of meeting, they must wash so that they will not die. Before they come near the altar to serve as priests and burn an offering by fire to Yahweh, 21 they will wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This will be a permanent law for him and his descendants for generations to come.”
