For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkled on defiled persons, give them a holiness that bears on bodily purity,

for after Moses had announced every command in the Law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, together with water, scarlet wool and hyssop, sprinkling the book and all the people,

not taking any blood of goats and oxen but his own blood, and entered once for all into the Holy place. He secured an eternal redemption.

(for the blood of bulls and goats cannot possibly remove sins!).
