Exodus 30:17-21

17 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

18 facies et labium aeneum cum basi sua ad lavandum ponesque illud inter tabernaculum testimonii et altare et missa aqua

19 lavabunt in eo Aaron et filii eius manus suas ac pedes

20 quando ingressuri sunt tabernaculum testimonii et quando accessuri ad altare ut offerant in eo thymiama Domino

21 ne forte moriantur legitimum sempiternum erit ipsi et semini eius per successiones
