Pondering this today

Numbers 35:33-34
"Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it. Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell, for I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.

Hebrews 12:22-24
"But you have come... to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel."
