Commentary on Exodus 40:32
Aaron and sons washing 'when they went into the tent...when they came near' teaches that service requires preparation. The Hebrew בְּבֹאָם (bevo'am, when they enter) and בְּקָרְבָתָם (beqorvat am, when they draw near) indicate movement toward sacred space demands cleansing. This prefigures New Testament calls to 'draw near' with cleansed hearts (Hebrews 10:22; James 4:8). The washing's repetition (not one-time) teaches ongoing sanctification. Christ's washing disciples' feet (John 13:4-10) illustrated this—justified saints need daily cleansing from sin's defilement.
