Exodus 40:30

28 Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

29 He placed the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him.

He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;

31 and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet.

32 They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
