The laver was the place where the priest washed their hands and feet before they went into the Tabernacle to do God’s work.

The laver was located in the outer court (out side) of the Tabernacle.

Concerning the washing of hands and feet; how does that relate to our every day life in today’s world?

You see; every thing that was done by the priest in God’s tabernacle (presence) is a reflection and image that we need to learn from.

The regular washing of hands and feet represented a continues habit of practicing the ritual of washing, cleanness, and good hygiene.

If the priest that served God practiced the ritual of washing hands before they did God’s work, then that also means that; we too need to wash our hands before we touch and prepare the food we going to eat, after we have been in the toilet, when we are using our hands to serve others etc.

The washing of feet represented the washing a way of all the impurity (uncleanness) which may tilt somebody’s foot steps into troding the wrong path.

Water is a symbol of baptism, rebirth and the act of immersing in a mikvah.
