Laver

A vessel containing water for the priests to wash their hands and feet before offering sacrifice. In the tabernacle it stood between the altar and the door (Ex. 30:17–21). In Solomon’s temple, besides the molten sea, there were 10 lavers on wheels, with bases (1 Kgs. 7:27–39), used for washing the animals that were to be sacrificed (2 Chr. 4:6).
