Hebrews 9:15-23 (3:6) And for this cause he is the mediator of the new covenant, that death having been for a redemption of transgressions transgressors under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ ^(3:6) And for this cause he is the mediator of the new covenant, that death having been for a redemption of transgressions [transgressors] under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ For where there is a covenant, there must follow the death of the covenant-maker. ¹⁷ For a covenant is strong for the dead, since it is never strong [unalterable] when the covenant-maker lives; ¹⁸ whence also the first [covenant] was not initiated without blood. ¹⁹ For every commandment of the law having been spoken by Moses to all the people, taking the blood of bullocks and goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined upon you. ²¹ And he sprinkled also the tabernacle, and all the implements of the service, in like manner, with blood. ²² And almost all things, according to the law, are purified with blood, and without the pouring out of blood there is no forgiveness. ²³ ^(3:7) It was necessary, therefore, that the symbols of things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
