Hebrews 9:18-20 So not even the first covenant was ratified without the use of blood.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ So not even the first covenant was ratified without the use of blood. ¹⁹ For after every regulation in the law had been spoken by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, crimson wool, and a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled the book containing the law and all the people, ²⁰ saying, "This is the blood that ratifies the covenant which God commanded me to make with you."
