Hebrews 9:19-23

English Standard Version

¹⁹For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took ^(A)the blood of calves and goats, ^(B)with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, ²⁰saying, ^(C)“This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.” ²¹And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both ^(D)the tent and all the vessels used in worship. ²²Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and ^(E)without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

²³Thus it was necessary for ^(F)the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Hebrews 8:6-13

English Standard Version

⁶But as it is, Christ^[a] has obtained a ministry that is ^(A)as much more excellent than the old as ^(B)the covenant ^(C)he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. ⁷^(D)For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.

⁸For he finds fault with them when he says:^[b]

^(E)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
    when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
    and with the house of Judah,
⁹not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
    on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
    and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
¹⁰^(F)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
    after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
    and ^(G)write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
    and they shall be my people.
¹¹And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
    and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall ^(H)all know me,
    from the least of them to the greatest.
¹²For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
    ^(I)and I will remember their sins no more.”

¹³In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And ^(J)what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

⁵Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be ^(A)my treasured possession among all peoples, for ^(B)all the earth is mine; ⁶and you shall be to me a ^(C)kingdom of priests and ^(D)a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”
