---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary

Baths - The use of the bath was very frequent among the Hebrews (Leviticus 14:8; Numbers 19:19, etc.). The high priest at his inauguration (Leviticus 8:6), and on the day of atonement, was required to bathe himself (Leviticus 16:4, Leviticus 16:24). The "pools" mentioned in Nehemiah 3:15, Nehemiah 3:16, 2 Kings 20:20, Isaiah 22:11, John 9:7, were public bathing-places.
