Throw the Blood

In the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, blood had a significance. It actually had a primary significance. We read that there is no forgiveness of sin where there is no shedding of blood:

Hebrews 9:22 (ESV Strong's)
22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

Since there is life in the blood, any shedding of blood is the giving of a life. It is the significance of life. All of our DNA is captured in our blood. When Moses, in Exodus 24:6, sprinkled blood on the altar and then on the people, he was indicating that the sacrifice was acceptable to God (sprinkled on the altar) and that the people would be obedient to the covenant. The blood sealed the covenant. In the garden of Eden when Adam sinned, God’s first act was to shed blood of an animal to get the skin to cover Adam shame. We see in the picture the blood was necessary to cover for sin.  In the above text, Aaron, the priest, is being instructed on how to cover guilt sin.  Thank you when Aaron sprinkled the altar with blood, it was showing that got excepted to sacrifice by receiving the blood on the altar.  The significance of blood in our salvation cannot be understated. We are sealed with the eternal blood of the covenant.

Hebrews 13:20 (ESV Strong's)
20 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,

The blood that the author is referring to, is the blood of Jesus Christ as it was spilled out for us.
