In modern synagogues they dunk three times.

Why?

These are the verses they use.

Leviticus 15:13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself
seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and he shall be
clean.

That is a purification for the body.

Leviticus 16:19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and
hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
This is a purification from society, we only care about what others think with our soul.

Leviticus 16:30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may
be clean from all your sins before the LORD. LORD = Yahweh
This is a spiritual purification.

I think this is what John did to everybody else he baptized. Still Jesus didn’t need any of these
purifications.
