1). The washing of the hands and feet is needed to cleanse where the priest has walked and what he has handled. The washing of the priests before they minister in the Tabernacle is a type and foreshadow of us being obedient to the word of God and being washed by the water of the word.

a). Psalm 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.

b). John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

c). Ephesians 5:26, 27 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

d). Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

2). We are New Covenant priests. Just as the Old Testament priesthood is a type and foreshadow of Jesus, it is also a type and foreshadow of our New testament priesthood.

a). 1 Peter 2:5  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

b). 1 Peter 2:9  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

3). We as New Testament priests offer up sacrifices unto God through our High Priest Christ Jesus.

a). Romans 12:1, 2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what isthat good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

b). Hebrews 13:15, 16 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

4). Just as the washing of the priests before ministry in the tabernacle or at the altar in the laver is a type of our washing of the water of the word, so also is the material from which the laver was constructed, brass mirrors.

a). James 1:22-25 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
