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).

The seventeenth reading from the Torah is named Yitro (????), which is the literal Hebrew behind the name Jethro. The title comes from the first words of the first verse of the reading, which says, “Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people” (Exodus 18:1). The portion tells the story of Jethro’s visit to the camp of Israel, then relates the great theophany at Mount Sinai, where God gives Israel the Ten Commandments and invites the people to enter a special covenant relationship with Him.
