¹⁹ For when Moses had spoken every ^[a]precept to all the people according to the law, ^(A)he took the blood of calves and goats, ^(B)with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

⁵ Then he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered ^(A)burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord. ⁶ And Moses ^(B)took half the blood and put it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar. ⁷ Then he ^(C)took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the Lord has said we will do, and be obedient.” ⁸ And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is ^(D)the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you according to all these words.”

On the Mountain with God

⁹ Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, ¹⁰ and they ^(E)saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of ^(F)sapphire stone, and it was like the ^(G)very^[a] heavens in its clarity. ¹¹ But on the nobles of the children of Israel He ^(H)did not ^[b]lay His hand. So ^(I)they saw God, and they ^(J)ate and drank.

¹² Not ^(A)with the blood of goats and calves, but ^(B)with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place ^(C)once for all, ^(D)having obtained eternal redemption.

¹⁸ A clean person shall take ^(A)hyssop and dip it in the water, sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, or on the one who touched a bone, the slain, the dead, or a grave.

⁶ And the priest shall take ^(A)cedar wood and ^(B)hyssop and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer.
