For when all the commandments were read of Moses unto all the people, he took the blood of calves, and of goats, with water and purple wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, saying, "This is the blood of the testament, which God hath appointed unto you." Moreover, he sprinkled the tabernacle with blood also, and all the ministering vessels. And almost all things are, by the law, purged with blood, and without shedding of blood, is no remission. It is then need that the similitudes of heavenly things, be purified with such things: but the heavenly things themselves are purified with better sacrifices than are those. For Christ is not entered into the holy places, that are made with hands, which are but similitudes of true things: but is entered into very heaven, for to appear now in the sight of God for us. Not to offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with strange blood: for then must he have often suffered since the world began: But now in the end of the world, hath he appeared once, to put sin to flight, by the offering up of himself. And as it is appointed unto men that they shall once die, and then cometh the judgment, even so Christ was once offered to take away the sins of many, and unto them that look for him, shall he appear again, without sin, unto their salvation.

But they that run after another god shall have great trouble. Their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names within my lips.

and hath made of one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth; and hath assigned before: how long time, and also the ends of their inhabitation.

His young ones are fed with blood, and where any dead body lieth, there is he immediately."

And almost all things are, by the law, purged with blood, and without shedding of blood, is no remission.

Woe unto him, that buildeth the town with blood, and maintaineth the city with unrighteousness.

Therefore, as truly as I live, sayeth the LORD God, I will prepare thee unto blood. Yea, blood shall follow upon thee: seeing thou layest wait for blood, therefore shall blood persecute thee.

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance, and shall wash his feet in the blood of the ungodly.

In the place where the burnt offering is killed, the trespass offering shall be killed also: and his blood shall be sprinkled round about upon the altar.

Then said the LORD unto Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is hardened, and he refuseth to let the people go. Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning, for he will come unto the water, and stand thou upon the river's brink against he come, and the rod which turned to a serpent take in thine hand. And say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee saying: let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: but hitherto thou wouldest not hear. read more.
Wherefore, thus sayeth the LORD: hereby thou shalt know that I am the LORD. Behold, I will smite with the staff that is in mine hand upon the waters that are in the river, and they shall turn to blood. And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink: so that it shall grieve the Egyptians to drink of the water of the river.'" And the LORD spake unto Moses, "Say unto Aaron, 'Take thy staff and stretch out thine hand over the waters of Egypt, over their streams, rivers, ponds and all pools of water, that they may be blood, and that there may be blood in all the land of Egypt: both in vessels of wood and also of stone.'" And Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD commanded. And he lift up the staff and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the river, turned into blood. And the fish that was in the river died, and the river stank: so that the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river. And there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. And the enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their enchantments, so that Pharaoh's heart was hardened and did not regard them, as the LORD had said. And Pharaoh turned himself and went into his house, and set not his heart thereunto. And the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river. And it continued a week after that the LORD had smote the river.
