Priests when offering a sin offering were required to dip a finger into the blood of the sacrificed bullock and "to sprinkle of the blood seven times before Yahweh" (compare Leviticus 4:6 , et al.). See also the law referring to the cleansing of infected houses (Leviticus 14:51 ) and the cleansing of a leper (Leviticus 14:16 ). In all such cases "to dip" is "to moisten," "to besprinkle," "to dip in," the Hebrew טבל , ṭābhal , or the Greek βάπτω , báptō . See also ASHER . In Psalm 68:23 "dipping" is not translated from the Hebrew, but merely employed for a better understanding of the passage: "Thou mayest crush them, dipping thy foot in blood" (the King James Version "that thy foot may be dipped in the blood"). Revelation 19:13 is a very doubtful passage. the King James Version reads: "a vesture dipped in blood" (from baptō , "to dip"); the Revised Version (British and American) following another reading (either rhaı́nō , or rhantı́zō , both "to sprinkle"), translates "a garment sprinkled with blood." the Revised Version, margin gives "dipped in." See also SOP .
