20saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward.

21Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.

22And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

23It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:

25nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;

26else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
