Hebrews 9:18-22
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
18 Hence, not even the first covenant has been inaugurated[a] without blood. 19 For every commandment having been spoken to all the people by Moses according-to[b] the Law— having taken the blood of the calves and the goats along with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying “This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you” [Ex 24:8]. 21 And he likewise sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the objects of the ministry. 22 Indeed according-to[c] the Law almost everything is cleansed[d] with blood, and forgiveness does not take-place[e] apart-from blood-shedding[f].

Hebrews 9:18-22
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)
