- Genesis 35:2
So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.
Commentary on Genesis 35:21 voice
After he was called by God, Jacob ascends to Bethel, that is, to the house of God (this is how the name Bethel is interpreted), offers sacrifices to God and is declared chief and master of the holy rites. He teaches his successors and descendants how they must enter the house of God. He orders the foreign gods to be rejected like dung and filth and to change the garments. It is fitting for us to do likewise when we are called before God, or enter the divine temple, especially in the time of the holy baptism.
Cyril of Alexandria· GLAPHYRA ON GENESIS, 5.4, 444Patristic
- Exodus 19:10
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
Commentary on Exodus 19:101 voice
However, even the people had to be purified two or three days beforehand, so as to come clean to the sacrifice, as we read in the Old Testament. They even used to wash their clothes. If such regard was paid in what was only the figure, how much ought it to be shown in the reality! Learn then, priest and Levite, what it means to wash your clothes. You must have a pure body wherewith to offer up the sacraments.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Duties of the Clergy 1.50.258, 397Patristic
- Exodus 19:14
When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.
Commentary on Exodus 19:141 voice
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people,.... The same day that he went up, the fourth day of the month: and sanctified the people; instructed them and ordered them what they should do for their sanctification, in order to their hearing the law from the mouth of the Lord: and they washed their clothes; as the Lord had directed Moses to enjoin them, and as he had commanded them; see Gill on Exo 19:10.

- Exodus 29:4
Then present Aaron and his sons at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
Commentary on Exodus 29:42 voices
The high priest washes himself, then offers incense; for Aaron was first washed, then became high priest. For how could one who had not yet been cleansed by water pray for others? Further, the laver had been set within the tabernacle, as a symbol of baptism.
Cyril of Jerusalem· Catechetical Lecture 3.5, 386Patristic
And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Exodus 30:18–21
“You are to make a bronze basin with a bronze stand for washing. Set it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it,
Commentary on Exodus 30:18–212 voices
In the first instance, we can understand this basin (or flanged bowl, as it is called further on) to be the water of baptism, in which all those who enter the doors of the church must bathe in order to be cleansed. It was put …
Bede· On the Tabernacle 3.14, AT EXODUS 3:18-20, 735Patristic

- Exodus 40:12
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
Commentary on Exodus 40:121 voice

- Exodus 40:30–32
He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;
Commentary on Exodus 40:30–321 voice
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar,.... Of which position, see Exo 30:18. and put water there to wash withal; for the priests to wash their hands and feet with; a type of that laver or fountain opened for the house of David and inhabitants of Jerusalem to wash in, Zec 13:1.

- Leviticus 1:9
The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
Commentary on Leviticus 1:92 voices
But the inwards and his legs shall he wash in water,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The parts which were washed were the stomach, and bowels, and feet, divided from the carcass at the knee-joint. The priest shall burn - The verb here translated burn, is applied exclusively to the burning of the incense, to the lights of the tabernacle, and to the offerings on the altar. The primary meaning of its root seems to be to exhale odor. (See the margin of Lev 24:2; Exo 30:8).
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Leviticus 1:13

- Leviticus 7:20
But if anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.
Commentary on Leviticus 7:202 voices
But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offerings, that pertain unto the Lord,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Having his uncleanness upon him - Having touched any unclean thing by which he became legally defiled, and had not washed his clothes, and bathed his flesh.

- Leviticus 7:21
If one touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing, and then eats any of the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.”
Commentary on Leviticus 7:212 voices
Moreover, the soul that shall touch any unclean thing,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed

- Leviticus 9:14
He washed the entrails and the legs and burned them atop the burnt offering on the altar.
Commentary on Leviticus 9:141 voice
And he did wash the inwards and the legs,.... As Moses also had done, Lev 8:21. and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar; upon the pieces, and the head, before mentioned, said to be burnt, or "after" the burnt offering, after they were burnt: the Septuagint version is as before.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Leviticus 12:6–8
When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.
Commentary on Leviticus 12:6–82 voices
When the days of her purifying - It is not easy to account for the difference in the times of purification, after the birth of a male and female child. After the birth of a boy the mother was considered unclean for forty days; after the birth of a girl, four-score days. There is probably no physical reason for this difference, and it is difficult to assign a political one.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter,....
