וְרָחֲצוּ מִמֶּנּוּ מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו אֶת־יְדֵיהֶם וְאֶת־רַגְלֵיהֶֽם׃
Moshe, Aharon and his sons washed their hands and feet from it,

בְּבֹאָם אֶל־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וּבְקׇרְבָתָם אֶל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ יִרְחָצוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃ {ס}
when they came to the Tent of Meeting and when they approached the altar they would wash, just as Adonoy commanded Moshe.
when they came to the Tent of Meeting and when they approached the altar they would wash, just as Adonoy commanded Moshe.
Rashi
ובקרבתם. כמו ובקרבם, כשיקרבו:
And when they approached. וּבְקָרְבָתָם is the same as וּבְקָרְבָם — when they would approach.
ורחצו ממנו משה ואהרן ובניו. יום שמיני למלואים הושוו כולם לכהונה, ותרגומו וִיקַדְּשׁוּן מִנֵּיהּ, בו ביום קָדַשׁ משה עמהם:
Moshe and Aharon ... washed ... from it. On the eighth day of the Installations all of them (Moshe, Aharon and his sons) were equal in the priesthood. Onkelos’ translation [of וְרָחֲצוּ] is: And they sanctified themselves from it. On that very day Moshe was sanctified with them.
