STRONGS G909:
βαπτισμός, -οῦ, ὁ, (βαπτίζω), a washing, purification effected by means of water: Mark 7:4, 8 [R G L Tr in brackets] (ξεστῶν καὶ ποτηρίων); of the washings prescribed by the Mosaic law, Hebrews 9:10. βαπτισμῶν διδαχῆς equivalent to διδαχῆς περὶ βαπτισμῶν, Hebrews 6:2 [where L text, WH text, βαπτ. διδαχήν], which seems to mean an exposition of the difference between the washings prescribed by the Mosaic law and Christian baptism. (Among secular writings Josephus alone, Antiquities 18, 5, 2, uses the word, and of John's baptism; [respecting its interchange with βάπτισμα cf. examples in Sophocles Lexicon, under the word 2 and Bp. Lightfoot on Colossians 2:12, where L marginal reading Tr read βαπτισμός; cf. Trench, § xcix.].)
