And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein. 19 And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands 20 and their feet thereat: when they go into the

tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made 21 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.

And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, 27 and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the 28 altar of incense, and the altar of burnt offer

ing with all the vessels thereof, and the laver 29 and the base thereof. And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: 2 whatso- 2 Or, 30 ever toucheth them shall be holy. And thou

shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the 31 priest's office. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your gener32 ations. Upon the flesh of man shall it not be

poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition thereof: it is holy, 33 and it shall be holy unto you. Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
