The "baptisms" of the Old Testament (Heb. 9:10) were frequently associated with cleansing of the body-public was so "baptized" or ceremonially cleansed, Men, Women, and Children, Heb. 9:13, cf. w/ Ex.24:8; Dt.31:10-12, Num.19:18; Lev.16:15.
Then, there were individual cleansings, for the ceremonially unclean. Usually, this demands some self-awareness/self-examination.
