15 The arich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when you give an offering to the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves.
16 And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and ashall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of meeting, that it may be ba memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves.”
The Bronze Laver
17 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
18 a“You shall also make a1 laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall bput it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it,
19 for Aaron and his sons ashall 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.

Exodus 30:17-18
This is instruction for the making of the laver, which was nothing but a great big pot filled with water, that those who were going to serve as priests making the sacrifices had to wash their hands and feet in before they were permitted to do their job.
