(This is restated in different ways in both v25 and v28.) 4. v22 indicates there are things under the law not purified with blood 5. There is no basis for conflating blood sprinkled for a covenant and blood sprinkled for purification from sins. | |

If so, ISTM that the context limits the discussion to the two sacrifices of Yom Kippur, hence my down vote. | |
