18whence not even the first apart from blood hath been initiated,
15 And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance,

17 for a covenant over dead victims is stedfast, since it is no force at all when the covenant-victim liveth,
18 whence not even the first apart from blood hath been initiated,
19 for every command having been spoken, according to law, by Moses, to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he both the book itself and all the people did sprinkle,
20 saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant that God enjoined unto you,'
9:18Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated without blood.
9:18This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.
9:18Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood.
9:18Wherefore even the first covenant hath not been dedicated without blood.
9:18Whence neither the first was inaugurated without blood.
9:18Wherefore even the first covenant hath not been dedicated without blood.
9:18Hence even the first testament was not dedicated without blood.
9:18Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.
9:18Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
