Hebrews 9:19
Compare all
17 For aa testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.  
18 aTherefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.  
19 For when Moses had spoken every1 precept to all the people according to the law, ahe took the blood of calves and goats, bwith water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,  
20 saying, a“This is the bblood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”  
21 Then likewise ahe sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.  
22 And according to the law almost all things are1 purified with blood, and awithout shedding of blood there is no2 remission.  

Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

23 Therefore it was necessary that athe copies of the things in the heavens should be1 purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.  
24 For aChrist has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are1 copies of bthe true, but into heaven itself, now cto appear in the presence of God for us;

Hebrews 9:19

He took the blood of calves - Or heifers. And of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop - All these circumstances are not particularly mentioned in that chapter of Exodus, but are supposed to be already known from other passages of Moses. And the book itself - Which contained all he had said. And sprinkled all the people - Who were near him. The blood was mixed with water to prevent its growing too stiff for sprinkling; perhaps also to typify that blood and water, John 19:34. Exodus 24:7-8
