16 For where a covenant is, there is indicated the DEATH of that which made it.

17 For upon death only is it confirmed; because while he who made it lived there is no value in it.

18 Wherefore neither the first without blood was confirmed.

19 For when every precept had been enjoined by Musha to the whole people according to the law, Musha took the blood of the heifer, and water, with the scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled upon the books and upon all the people,

20 and said to them, This is the blood of that covenant which is commanded by Aloha.
