Hebrews 9
1 8 15 For this was he made the Mediator of the new covenant, that by his death he might become the ransom for those who had transgressed against the first covenant, (and) that they might receive the promise, they, who are called unto the inheritance which is eternal.16 For where a covenant [fn] is, there is indicated the DEATH of that which made it. 17 For upon death only is it confirmed; because while he who made it lived there is no value in it.18 Wherefore neither the first without blood was confirmed.19 For when every precept had been enjoined by Musha to the whole people according to the law, Musha took the blood of the heifer, and water, with the scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled upon the books and upon all the people,20 and said to them, This is the blood of that covenant which is commanded by Aloha.21 Also upon the tabernacle and upon all the vessels of the service from it with blood he sprinkled.22 Because every thing with blood was purified under the law; and without shedding of blood there is no remission. 23 For it was necessary that these which are a type of the heavenlies, with (these) things should be purified; but the heavenlies themselves with sacrifices that are more excellent than they.24 For not into the sanctuary made with hands hath the Meshiha entered, which is an emblem of the true one, but into heaven itself hath he entered, that he might appear before the face of Aloha for us.25 Nor [fn] that he should offer himself many times, as did the chief of the priests, entering every year into the holy place with blood not his own; 26 otherwise he would have been obligated many times to suffer from the beginning of the world. But now, in the end of the world, once hath he offered himself, that by his sacrifice he might abolish sin.27 And as it is ordained to the sons of men, that they must once die, and after their death the judgment;28 28 so also the Meshiha was once offered, and in his (own) person sacrificed (for) the sins of many; but the second time [fn] without sins he appeareth for the salvation of them who expect him.
