Hebrews 9:20-23
New English Translation

20 and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.”[a] 21 And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood. 22 Indeed according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 23 So it was necessary for the sketches[b] of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices,[c] but the heavenly things themselves required[d] better sacrifices than these.
