The Old Testament is full of descriptions on how the people of Israelites must come before God with appropriate sacrifices to be forgiven of their sins. However, in today's verse, we get to see how the priests must also cleanse themselves before coming before God.
This goes to show how we must fight to get rid of all of our sins in our lives completely, no matter how trivial and small they seem. We must fight against each and all areas of our lives where there is sin, and bring all of them before God and ask for forgiveness.
We like to keep some to ourselves, while giving the rest up to God. I think the verse is reiterating the importance of complete surrender to God, where we are giving all of us to Him, including all of our sinful ways, so that we can be completely clean, 100% ready to be used for His works.
Imagine how much of an impact we would bring to those around us, if we are 100% effective; well, I think that's how it will be like, if we can live with His presence, getting rid of all of the sinful areas in our lives...
