11 Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.
11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
11 You shall also anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it.
11 Anoint the Washbasin and its base: consecrate it.
11 And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and consecrate it.
11 Next anoint the washbasin and its stand to consecrate them.

Commentary on Exodus 40:1-15
(Read Exodus 40:1-15)
When a new year begins, we should seek to serve God better than the year before. In half a year the tabernacle was completed. When the hearts of numbers are earnest in a good cause, much may be done in a short time; and when the commandments of God are continually attended to, as the rule of working, all will be done well. The high-priesthood was in the family of Aaron till Christ came, and in Him, the substance of all these shadows, it continues for ever.
