Hebrews 9:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Hence not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. ¹⁹ For when every commandment had been told to all the people by Moses in accordance with the law, he took the blood of calves and goats,^[a] with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying, ‘This is the blood of the covenant that God has ordained for you.’
