Hebrews 9:21-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
21 And in the same way he (A)sprinkled both the [a]tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood. 22 And according to the [b]Law, one may (B)almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and (C)without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 Therefore it was necessary for the (D)copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but (E)the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
