Deuteronomy 4:23 Take
heed unto yourselves,
lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and
make you a graven image, [
or] the likeness of any [
thing], which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.
Exodus 19:5-
8 Now therefore,
if ye will obey my voice indeed, and
keep my covenant, then ye shall be
a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for
all the earth [
is] mine: ... And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
Exodus 24:8 And Moses took the blood, and
sprinkled [
it] on the people, and said,
Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
Hebrews 8:6-
13 But now hath he
obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is
the mediator of a better
covenant, which
was established upon better promises. ... In that he saith,
A new [
covenant],
he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [
is]
ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 9:19-
23 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took
the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and
scarlet wool, and
hyssop, and
sprinkled both the book, and all the people, ... [
It was] therefore necessary that
the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but
the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
