Where was the laver of cleansing located in the tabernacle courtyard?
The laver of cleansing stood in the tabernacle courtyard between the actual tabernacle tent and the brazen altar where sacrifices were burned. It was made of brass and filled with water, and the priest would stop there to wash before proceeding with his sacrificial service at the altar.
Les explains that the laver of cleansing was positioned outside the tabernacle tent, between it and the brazen altar where the sacrifices were burned. The priest, when coming to begin his sacrifices at the brazen altar, had to stop at the laver, which was filled with water and made of brass. Les notes it was made of looking-glass and compares it to checking yourself in a mirror after getting dirty in the yard.
