“Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
