And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet at the laver in the court before entering the tabernacle into God's presence. The washing was done in view of the congregation. It removed impurity, teaching that every particle of dust had to be removed before approaching God. The requirement came because God's glory sanctified the sanctuary, so those officiating had to prepare themselves before entering His presence, lest they die for not meeting His holiness.
The washing belonged to the tabernacle's prescribed arrangements. Those arrangements were designed to impress Israel with God's majesty and holiness. They were designed to impress Israel with the purity required of those who serve Him.
