18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.

18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.

18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

18 That is why even the first covenant was put into effect with the blood of an animal.

18 This is why even the first agreement could not begin without blood to show death.

18 Wherefore even the first covenant hath not been dedicated without blood.

18 Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood.

18 That is why even the first promise was made with blood.

18 That is why even the first covenant was inaugurated with blood.

18 Hence not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.

18 Therefore not even the first covenant was ratified without blood.

18 That’s why even the first covenant was not put into effect without the spilling of blood.

18 Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.
