17. And the Lord said to Moses,
18. You shall also make a laver or large basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, for washing; and you shall put it [outside in the court] between the Tent of Meeting and the altar [of burnt offering], and you shall put water in it;
19. There Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet. [Tit. 3:5.]
20. 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 by fire to the Lord, [John 13:6-8.]
21. So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die; it shall be a perpetual statute for [Aaron] and his descendants throughout their generations.
22. Moreover, the Lord said to Moses,
23. Take the best spices: of liquid myrrh 500 shekels, of sweet-scented cinnamon half as much, 250 shekels, of fragrant calamus 250 shekels,
24. And of cassia 500 shekels, in terms of the sanctuary shekel, and of olive oil a hin.
25. And you shall make of these a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer; it shall be a sacred anointing oil.
26. And you shall anoint the Tent of Meeting with it, and the ark of the Testimony,
27. And the [showbread] table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
28. And the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver [for cleansing] and its base.
29. You shall sanctify (separate) them, that they may be most holy; whoever and whatever touches them must be holy (set apart to God).
