“The high priest washes himself, then offers incense; for Aaron was first washed, then became high priest. For how could one who had not yet been cleansed by water pray for others? Further, the laver had been set within the tabernacle, as a symbol of baptism.”
Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th c. — Catechetical Lecture 3.5
