V. 20.— Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. When Moses sprinkled the blood on the book and on the people, he said, “This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath enjoined upon you.” We may observe the correspondence between the words of Moses and those employed by the Lord at the institution of the Lord’ s Supper, “ This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:28. The blood of the old covenant was that of bulls and goats, by which the first covenant was ratified. The blood by which the new covenant was ratified was that of Christ. By the old covenant the nation of Israel became God’ s peculiar people, who dwelt among them and gave them a land flowing with milk and honey. God dwells in the hearts of all the children of the new covenant, and bestows on them an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away.
