18. “Make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and fill it with water.
19. Aaron and his sons will use it for washing their hands and feet.
20. Before they go into the tent of meeting, they must wash so that they will not die. Before they come near the altar to serve as priests and burn an offering by fire to the Lord,
21. they will wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This will be a permanent law for him and his descendants for generations to come.”
22. The Lord said to Moses,
23. “Take the finest spices: 12½ pounds of powdered myrrh; half as much, that is, 6¼ pounds of fragrant cinnamon; 6¼ pounds of fragrant cane;
24. 12½ pounds of cassia—all weighed using the standard weight of the holy place—and 4 quarts of olive oil.
25. Have a perfumer make these into a holy oil, a fragrant mixture, used only for anointing. This will be the holy oil used for anointing.
26. “Use it to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark containing the words of my promise,
27. the table and all the dishes, the lamp stand and all the utensils, the altar for incense,
28. the altar for burnt offerings and all its accessories, and the basin with its stand.
