And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water, Exod. xxix. 4. and xl. 12. 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 the LORD. 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, xxx. 1921. And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave of all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean; and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.

And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley, Deut. xxi. 6. And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled (that is to say, with unwashen) hands, they found fault. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not.
