Commentary on Exodus 40:31
Aaron and his sons washing hands and feet at the laver establishes priestly purity requirements. The hands (service) and feet (walk) symbolize conduct and character—ministry requires holiness in deed and direction. The washing's regularity ('when they went into...when they came near,' v. 32) teaches that cleansing is ongoing, not once-for-all—justification occurs once, sanctification continues. The 8th and final 'as the LORD commanded Moses' in chapter 40 completes the obedience emphasis (eight = new beginning). Believers, as priests (1 Peter 2:9), need continual cleansing (1 John 1:9).
