Vissarion (Nechaev)
I prompted the Israelites to obey God's directive, ensuring they purified themselves in both body and spirit. This purification is essential for those readying themselves to present before the Most Holy God.
And Moses came down from the mount to the people, and sanctified them. And when they had washed their garments,
וַיֵּ֧רֶד מֹשֶׁ֛ה מִן־הָהָ֖ר אֶל־הָעָ֑ם וַיְקַדֵּשׁ֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם וַֽיְכַבְּס֖וּ שִׂמְלֹתָֽם׃
