¹⁸Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood.

¹⁹For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.

²⁰Saying: This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

²¹The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood.

²²And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

Read in Logos

Hebrews 9:22: Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
