10. only as to foods and drinks, and different washings, and fleshly regulations imposed until a time of setting matters straight.
11. But Messiah, having become a High Priest of the coming good matters, through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,
12. entered into the Most Set-apart Place once for all, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood, having obtained everlasting redemption.
13. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the defiled, sets apart for the cleansing of the flesh,
14. how much more shall the blood of the Messiah, who through the everlasting Spirit offered Himself unblemished to Elohim, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim?
15. And because of this He is the Mediator of a renewed covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.
16. For where a covenant is, it is necessary for the death of the covenanted one to be established.
17. For a covenant over those dead is firm, since it is never valid while the covenanted one is living.
18. Therefore not even the first covenant was instituted without blood.
19. For when, according to Torah, every command had been spoken by Mosheh to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
20. saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which Elohim commanded you.”
