For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.

For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.

διοτι η ζωη της σαρκος ειναι εν τω αιματι και εγω εδωκα αυτο εις εσας, δια να καμνητε εξιλεωσιν υπερ των ψυχων σας επι του θυσιαστηριου· διοτι το αιμα τουτο καμνει εξιλασμον υπερ της ψυχης.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
