Lev. 4:5‑6• 5And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it into the tent of meeting;
 6and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before Jehovah before the veil of the sanctuary; (Lev. 4:5‑6)
;
Heb. 9:13‑25• 13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,
 14how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship the living God?
 15And for this reason he is mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
 16(For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must needs come in.
 17For a testament is of force when men are dead, since it is in no way of force while the testator is alive.)
 18Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood.
 19For every commandment having been spoken according to the law by Moses to all the people; having taken the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
 20saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you.
 21And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood;
 22and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission.
 23It was necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.
 24For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:
 25nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own; (Heb. 9:13‑25)
