MEDITATION
Exodus 30:17-21
17 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
18 “You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it,
19 for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it.
20 When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the LORD, they shall wash with water, lest they die.
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them—to him and his descendants throughout their generations.”

沉思
《出埃及记 30: 17-21》
17 耶和华晓谕摩西说:
18 “你要用铜做洗濯盆和盆座,以便洗濯。要将盆放在会幕和坛的中间,在盆里盛水。
19 亚伦和他的儿子要在这盆里洗手洗脚。
20 他们进会幕,或是就近坛前供职给耶和华献火祭的时候,必用水洗濯,免得死亡。21 他们洗手洗脚,就免得死亡。这要做亚伦和他后裔世世代代永远的定例。”
