NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant. A death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant. Those called may receive the promise of everlasting inheritance. ¹⁶ A will is used for a person who is dead. It becomes effective only when the person dies. ¹⁷ A will is in force after a person dies. Otherwise it is not in effect at all while the one who provided it lives. ¹⁸ The first covenant was dedicated with blood. ¹⁹ When Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, ²⁰ He said: »This is the blood of the covenant that God has presented to you.« ²¹ He sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of service. ²² Almost all things are by the Law purified with blood. There is no forgiveness unless blood is poured out. ²³ It was necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these. But the heavenly things should be cleansed with better sacrifices than these.
