Hebrews 9:14-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit[a] offered himself without blemish to God, purify our[b] conscience from dead works to worship the living God!(A)
15 For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, because a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.[c](B) 16 Where a will[d] is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. 17 For a will[e] takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18 Hence not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.(C) 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,[f] with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people,(D) 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[g] and all the vessels used in worship.(E) 22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.(F)

20 and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.(A)
21 And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled[a] in his fleshly body[b] through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him,(B) 23 provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature[c] under heaven. I, Paul, became a minister of this gospel.(C)

They shall face one to another; the faces of the cherubim shall be turned toward the cover.(B) 21 You shall put the cover on the top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the covenant that I am giving you.(C) 22 There I will meet with you, and from above the cover, from between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the covenant, I will tell you all that I am commanding you for the Israelites.(D)
