  • Heb 9:15-23 : 15 And for this reason He is the mediator of the new covenant, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is in effect after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the book itself and all the people, 20 Saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you." 21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And almost all things are purified by the law with blood; and without shedding of blood there is no remission. 23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
