^8 (A)And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

⁴ For ^(A)it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

⁵ Consequently, ^(B)when Christ^[a] came into the world, he said,

⁶ And ^(A)Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar.

^25 (A)I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from ^(B)all your uncleannesses, and ^(C)from all your idols ^(D)I will cleanse you.

²⁸ for ^(A)this is my ^(B)blood of the^[a] covenant, which is poured out for ^(C)many ^(D)for the forgiveness of sins.

Benediction

²⁰ Now ^(A)may the God of peace ^(B)who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ^(C)the great shepherd of the sheep, by ^(D)the blood of the eternal covenant,

² according to ^(A)the foreknowledge of God the Father, ^(B)in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and ^(C)for sprinkling with his blood:

May ^(D)grace and ^(E)peace be multiplied to you.

¹⁸ Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated ^(A)without blood. ¹⁹ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took ^(B)the blood of calves and goats, ^(C)with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying, ^(D)“This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.” ²¹ And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both ^(E)the tent and all the vessels used in worship.

²⁵ In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
