the Lord spake unto Moses, saying
on Exodus 30:17-21
The third speech gives the only piece of the tabernacle whose size the text never fixes, since the laver is described by its metal and its use and by nothing else. Exodus 38:8 says what the brass came from, the looking glasses of the women assembling at the door of the tent. Aaron and his sons were already washed once at their consecration in Exodus 29:4, and this is a different thing, a washing of hands and feet repeated at every approach, with the reason given twice as that they die not. John 13:10 sets a bathed man needing only his feet washed.
