Exodus 24:3-8
New Living Translation
3 Then Moses went down to the people and repeated all the instructions and regulations the Lord had given him. All the people answered with one voice, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded.”
4 Then Moses carefully wrote down all the Lord’s instructions. Early the next morning Moses got up and built an altar at the foot of the mountain. He also set up twelve pillars, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 Then he sent some of the young Israelite men to present burnt offerings and to sacrifice bulls as peace offerings to the Lord. 6 Moses drained half the blood from these animals into basins. The other half he splattered against the altar.
7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people. Again they all responded, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded. We will obey.”
8 Then Moses took the blood from the basins and splattered it over the people, declaring, “Look, this blood confirms the covenant the Lord has made with you in giving you these instructions.”

3 When Moses went and told the people all the Lord’s words and laws,(A) they responded with one voice, “Everything the Lord has said we will do.”(B) 4 Moses then wrote(C) down everything the Lord had said.
He got up early the next morning and built an altar(D) at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stone pillars(E) representing the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 Then he sent young Israelite men, and they offered burnt offerings(F) and sacrificed young bulls as fellowship offerings(G) to the Lord. 6 Moses(H) took half of the blood(I) and put it in bowls, and the other half he splashed(J) against the altar. 7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant(K) and read it to the people. They responded, “We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey.”(L)
8 Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people(M) and said, “This is the blood of the covenant(N) that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

Psalm 97:10
New Living Translation
10 You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He protects the lives of his godly people
and rescues them from the power of the wicked.
Hebrews 9:10-23
New Living Translation
10 For that old system deals only with food and drink and various cleansing ceremonies—physical regulations that were in effect only until a better system could be established.
Christ Is the Perfect Sacrifice
11 So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come.[a] He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world. 12 With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.
13 Under the old system, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer could cleanse people’s bodies from ceremonial impurity. 14 Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds[b] so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. 15 That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant.
16 Now when someone leaves a will,[c] it is necessary to prove that the person who made it is dead.[d] 17 The will goes into effect only after the person’s death. While the person who made it is still alive, the will cannot be put into effect.
18 That is why even the first covenant was put into effect with the blood of an animal. 19 For after Moses had read each of God’s commandments to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats,[e] along with water, and sprinkled both the book of God’s law and all the people, using hyssop branches and scarlet wool. 20 Then he said, “This blood confirms the covenant God has made with you.”[f] 21 And in the same way, he sprinkled blood on the Tabernacle and on everything used for worship. 22 In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
23 That is why the Tabernacle and everything in it, which were copies of things in heaven, had to be purified by the blood of animals. But the real things in heaven had to be purified with far better sacrifices than the blood of animals.

Hebrews 9:10-23
New International Version
10 They are only a matter of food(A) and drink(B) and various ceremonial washings(C)—external regulations(D) applying until the time of the new order.
The Blood of Christ
11 But when Christ came as high priest(E) of the good things that are now already here,[a](F) he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle(G) that is not made with human hands,(H) that is to say, is not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;(I) but he entered the Most Holy Place(J) once for all(K) by his own blood,(L) thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls(M) and the ashes of a heifer(N) sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit(O) offered himself(P) unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences(Q) from acts that lead to death,[c](R) so that we may serve the living God!(S)
15 For this reason Christ is the mediator(T) of a new covenant,(U) that those who are called(V) may receive the promised(W) eternal inheritance(X)—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.(Y)
16 In the case of a will,[d] it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.(Z) 19 When Moses had proclaimed(AA) every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves,(AB) together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people.(AC) 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”[e](AD) 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,(AE) and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.(AF)
23 It was necessary, then, for the copies(AG) of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
