Hebrews 9:15-22

MLV(i) 15 And because of this, he is the intermediary of a new covenant, that his death having happened for the redemption of the transgressions that were against the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance. 16 For where there is a covenant, it is a necessity for the death of the one who covenanted it to be brought about. 17 For a covenant is steadfast upon death; since it is never enforced when he who covenanted it is living. 18 Hence even the first covenant has not been inaugurated without blood. 19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, and when he took the blood of the calves and the male-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 commanded toward you.’ 21 Now likewise, he also sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the blood. 22 And according to the law, I may say, almost all things are cleansed in blood and no forgiveness happens without the shedding of blood.
