The LORD said to Moses,
We now have a fountain open for all, inexhaustible living water to wash in; it is our own fault if we remain in our filth. The priests could not offer their own cleanliness at home; they must wash at the appointed laver, and we must daily renew our repentance and apply the blood of Christ to our souls, for we daily offend and contract pollution.
