Bath, Bathing This was a prescribed part of the Jewish ritual of purification in cases of accident, or of leprous or ordinary uncleanness, Le 15; 16:28; 22:6; Nu 19:7, 19; 2Sa 11:2,4; 2Ki 5:10 as also after mourning, which always implied defilement. Ru 3:3; 2Sa 12:20 The eastern climate made bathing essential alike to health and pleasure, to which luxury added the use of perfumes. Es 2:12 Judith 10:3; Susan 17. The "pools," such as that of Siloam and Hezekiah, 2Ki 20:20; Ne 3:15,16; Isa 22:11; Joh 9:7 often sheltered by porticos, Joh 5:2 are the first indications we have of public bathing accommodation. |
