Hebrews 9:18-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 Hence not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.(A) 19 For when every commandment had been told to all the people by Moses in accordance with the law, he took the blood of calves and goats,[a] with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people,(B) 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has ordained for you.” 21 And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent[b] and all the vessels used in worship.(C) 22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.(D)
