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.

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.
