Hebrews 9:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 9:18
Even the first covenant 'was not dedicated without blood.' The Greek 'enkekainistai' (dedicated/inaugurated) indicates the initiatory ceremony that put the covenant into effect. Blood was essential from the beginning, demonstrating that covenant relationship with God requires death - either the covenant-breaker's death in judgment or a substitute's death in atonement. This establishes blood atonement as fundamental to God's covenant dealings.
