Lev. 4:5‑6• 5And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
 6And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary. (Lev. 4:5‑6)
;
Heb. 9:13‑25• 13For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
 14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
 15And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
 16For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
 17For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
 18Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
 19For 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,
 20Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
 21Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
 22And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
 23It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
 24For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
 25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; (Heb. 9:13‑25)
