The basin, also known as the laver, was used by the priests for ceremonial washing before they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar. This ritual cleansing symbolized purification and readiness to serve God. The stand, which held the basin, was also anointed, indicating that every part of the tabernacle's furnishings was to be dedicated to God. This practice underscores the importance of purity and holiness in worship, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/leviticus/8-10.htm">Leviticus 8:10-11</a>, where Moses anoints the tabernacle and all its furnishings.<p><b>and consecrate them</b><br>To consecrate means to declare or set apart as sacred. In the context of the tabernacle, consecration involved a ceremonial act that made the objects fit for divine service. This process was not merely symbolic but was a divine requirement for the Israelites, emphasizing the holiness required in approaching God. The consecration of the basin and its stand highlights the necessity of sanctification in worship, a theme echoed in the New Testament, where believers are called to be holy (<a href="/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15-16</a>). The consecration of these items can also be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate means of purification and sanctification for believers, as described in <a href="/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and to receive the Law, including the instructions for the Tabernacle.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>A portable earthly dwelling place of God among the Israelites, where the basin and its stand were part of the furnishings.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_basin_and_its_stand.htm">The Basin and its Stand</a></b><br>Part of the Tabernacle's furnishings, used for ceremonial washing by the priests before they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/a/anointing.htm">Anointing</a></b><br>The act of consecrating or setting apart something or someone for a holy purpose, often involving the application of oil.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/consecration.htm">Consecration</a></b><br>The act of declaring something sacred, dedicating it to the service and worship of God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_consecration.htm">The Importance of Consecration</a></b><br>Consecration is a vital aspect of worship, signifying dedication to God.
