For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Porque si la sangre de toros y machos cabríos, y las cenizas de la becerra rociadas sobre los que estaban contaminados, santificaban para la purificación de la carne...
Los sacrificios del Antiguo Testamento podían purificar ceremonialmente el cuerpo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Old Testament, under the Mosaic Law, the Israelites performed sacrifices involving the blood of bulls and goats to achieve ceremonial purification and atonement for sins, as part of their regular worship and rituals in the Tabernacle or Temple. The ashes of a red heifer, as detailed in Numbers 19, were used in a specific ceremony to cleanse individuals who had become ritually unclean through contact with death, symbolizing external cleansing that addressed physical defilement but not inner spiritual renewal. The author of Hebrews references these practices to highlight the limitations of the Old Covenant system in the context of arguing for the superior, eternal sacrifice of Christ.
