* For where a testament is , there must also of necessity be the death of the testator . * For a testament is of force after men are dead : otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth . * Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood . * For 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 , * Saying , This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you . * Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle , and all the vessels of the ministry . * And almost all things are by the law purged with blood ; and without shedding of blood is no remission . * It 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 .
