Hebrews 9:18-23
New King James Version
18 (A)Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every [a]precept to all the people according to the law, (B)he took the blood of calves and goats, (C)with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, (D)“This is the (E)blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21 Then likewise (F)he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And according to the law almost all things are [b]purified with blood, and (G)without shedding of blood there is no [c]remission.
Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice
23 Therefore it was necessary that (H)the copies of the things in the heavens should be [d]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Hebrews 9:18-23
New International Version
18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.(A) 19 When Moses had proclaimed(B) every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves,(C) together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.(D) 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”[a](E) 21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,(F) and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.(G)
23 It was necessary, then, for the copies(H) of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
