Lev. 4:5‑6• 5And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, 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 sanctifieth for the purity of the flesh,
 14by how 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 serve a 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, those that are called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.
 16For where a testament [is], the death of the testator must be brought in;
 17for a testament [is] valid after men [are] dead: since it in no wise hath force while the testator liveth.
 18Whence neither the first hath been inaugurated without blood.
 19For when every commandment was spoken according to law by Moses to all the people, having taken the blood of calves and of 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 enjoined on you.
 21And the tabernacle too, and all the vessels of service he sprinkled alike with the blood;
 22and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding cometh no remission.
 23Necessity therefore [was] that the examples of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
 24For the Christ entered not into handmade holies, figures of the true, but into the heaven itself now to appear to the face of God for us;
 25neither that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holies yearly with blood not his own, (Heb. 9:13‑25)
