¹⁸^q“You shall also make a ⁶laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall ^rput it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it, ¹⁹for Aaron and his sons ^sshall wash their hands and their feet in water from it. ²⁰When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die. ²¹So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And ^tit shall be a ⁷statute forever to them—to him and his descendants throughout their generations.”

The Holy Anointing Oil

²²Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ²³“Also take for yourself ^uquality spices—five hundred shekels of liquid ^vmyrrh, half as much sweet-smelling cinnamon (two hundred and fifty shekels), two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet-smelling ^wcane, ²⁴five hundred shekels of ^xcassia, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a ^yhin of olive oil. ²⁵And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be ^za holy anointing oil. ²⁶^aWith it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony; ²⁷the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense; ²⁸the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base.
