when Aaron and his sons were set apart to the priest '
s office ,
they were washed with water previous to their investiture with the priestly robes (

(

Before the priests approached the altar of God ,
they were required ,
on pain of death ,
to wash their hands and their feet to cleanse them from the soil of common life (
Ex .
30 :
17 -
21 ).
To this practice the Psalmist alludes ,

There were washings prescribed for the purpose of cleansing from positive defilement contracted by particular acts .
Of such washings eleven different species are prescribed in the Levitical law (

(

A fourth class of ablutions is mentioned ,
by which a person purified or absolved himself from the guilt of some particular act .
For example ,
the elders of the nearest village where some murder was committed were required ,
when the murderer was unknown ,
to wash their hands over the expiatory heifer which was beheaded ,
and in doing so to say , "
Our hands have not shed this blood ,
neither have our eyes seen it " (
Deut .
21 :
1 -
9 ).
So also Pilate declared himself innocent of the blood of Jesus by washing his hands (
Matt .

This act of Pilate may not ,
however ,
have been borrowed from the custom of the Jews .
The same practice was common among the Greeks and Romans .
The Pharisees carried the practice of ablution to great excess ,
thereby claiming extraordinary purity (
Matt .
23 :

Mark (

The Pharisees washed their hands "

or as an old father ,
Theophylact ,
explains it ,
"
up to the elbow ." (
