References to ritual washing are found in the Hebrew Bible , and are elaborated in the Mishnah and Talmud. They have been codified in various codes of Jewish law and tradition, such as Maimonides's Mishneh Torah (12th century) and Joseph Karo's Shulchan Aruch (16th century.) I will wash my hands in innocence; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD (Psalms 26:6). Netilat yadayim ("Raising [after ritually washing] the hands"), also known as Mayim Rishonim is done with a blessing, prior to eating any bread with a meal, and done without a blessing, after touching objects that convey tumah (such as one's private parts, leather shoes, or a ritually unclean animal or insect or after paying a visit to a cemetery)
