'Wash' in the Bible
The Lord also said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow [that is, prepare them for My sacred purpose], and have them wash their clothes
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting [out where the basin is] and wash them with water.
Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and wash its intestines and legs, and place them with its pieces and its head,
Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.
When they enter the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, so that they will not die. Also, when they approach the altar to minister, to burn an offering in the fire to the Lord [they shall do the same].
They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they will not die; it shall be a perpetual statute for them, for Aaron and his descendants throughout their generations.”
Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
