Hebrews 9:18-23

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

19For when every commandment of the law had been declared 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 covenant that God commanded for you."

21And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.

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

23Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
