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.

⁴ then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living and clean birds, ^(A)cedar wood, ^(B)scarlet, and ^(C)hyssop.

⁴⁹ And ^(A)he shall take, to cleanse the house, two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.

⁶ As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.

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, ²⁰ saying, ^(C)“This is the ^(D)blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” ²¹ Then likewise ^(E)he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. ²² And according to the law almost all things are ^[b]purified with blood, and ^(F)without shedding of blood there is no ^[c]remission.

Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

²³ Therefore it was necessary that ^(G)the copies of the things in the heavens should be ^[d]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
