Hebrews 9:20 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 9:20

Saying, this is the blood of the testament
The first testament or covenant; this proves what the apostle had asserted in ( Hebrews 9:18 ) that it was dedicated with blood, or confirmed by it; compare with this ( Matthew 26:28 )

which God hath enjoined unto you;
the people of Israel, to observe, and which they promised to do; see ( Exodus 24:7 Exodus 24:8 ) .

18 unde ne primum quidem sine sanguine dedicatum est

19 lecto enim omni mandato legis a Mose universo populo accipiens sanguinem vitulorum et hircorum cum aqua et lana coccinea et hysopo ipsum quoque librum et omnem populum aspersit

20 dicens hic sanguis testamenti quod mandavit ad vos Deus

21 etiam tabernaculum et omnia vasa ministerii sanguine similiter aspersit

22 et omnia paene in sanguine mundantur secundum legem et sine sanguinis fusione non fit remissio
