    Brief Summary: MOSES offered it on the altar (Lv08-28a) REFERENCES Ex30-19, Ex30-41, MOSES, Aaron and children washed ...in Lavere

Verse Lv08-28a discussing the offering of sacrifices during the consecration offering states And Moses took them from off their hands, and offered them on the altar upon the burnt-offering; they were a consecration-offering for a sweet savour; it was an offering made by fire unto HaShem. Rashi notes that the underlined words, Moses...offered them on the altar references verses Ex30-19, Ex30-41 discussing the requirements of Priests to wash hands and legs in the Lavere as a prerequisite to offering. Hence the Rashi comment Normally only Priests were required to bathe hands and legs in the lavere prior to Temple Service (Ex30-19). However as indicated in Lv08-28a Moses functioned as a Priest during the Temple Consecration ceremony (Because there were no other Priests as they were being consecrated). This corresponds to verse Ex30-41 which explicitly states that Moses washed hands and legs in the Lavere - just like the Priests - during the Consecration of the Temple.
