Seeker Overlay ON

rwp @Hebrews:9:22 @{I may almost say } (\schedon \). Old adverb , only three times in the N .T ., here , strkjv @Acts:13:44 ; strkjv @19:26 |. Here it qualifies the entire clause , not just \panta \. {With blood } (\en haimati \). In blood . There were exceptions (Exodus:19:10 ; strkjv @32:30f .; strkjv @Leviticus:5:11f .; strkjv @15:5 ; strkjv @Numbers:16:46f .; strkjv @31:23f .|, etc .). {Apart from shedding of blood } (\ch “ris haimatekchusias \). A double compound first found here (coined by the writer ) and later in ecclesiastical writers (\haima \, blood , \ek \, out , \che “\, to pour , like \ekchusis haimatos \ strkjv @1Kings:18:28 |). "Pouring out of blood ." The author seems to have in mind Christ 's words in strkjv @Matthew:26:28 |: "This is my blood of the covenant which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins ." The blood is the vital principle and is efficacious as an atonement . The blood of Christ sets aside all other plans for pardon .
