Hebrews 9:15-23

CAB(i) 15 And on account of this He is the Mediator of the new covenant, so that, since a death has occurred for redemption of the transgressions at the time of the first covenant, that those having been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a testament, there is necessity for death to be offered of the one making the testament. 17 For a testament is valid over dead people, since it is never valid when the one making the testament lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant has been dedicated without blood. 19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses according to law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded to you." 21 And likewise he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with the blood. 22 And according to the law almost all things are purified 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 to be continually purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves by better sacrifices than these.
