Baptism

Baptisms in the sense of purifications were common in the Old Testament The "divers washings" (Greek "baptisms") are mentioned in Heb_9:10, and "the doctrine of baptisms," Heb_6:2. The plural" baptisms" is used in the wider sense, all purifications by water; as of the priest's hands and feet in the laver outside before entering the tabernacle, in the daily service (Exo_30:17-21); of the high priest's flesh in the holy place on the day of atonement (Lev_16:23); of persons ceremonially unclean (Leviticus 14; 15; Lev_16:26-28; Lev_17:15; Lev_22:4-6), a leper, one with an issue, one who ate that which died of itself, one who touched a dead body, the one who let go the scape-goat or buried the ashes of the red heifer, of the people before a religious festival (Exo_19:10; Joh_11:55). The high priest's consecration was threefold: by baptism, unction, and sacrifice (Exo_29:4; Exo_40:12-15; Leviticus 8).
