SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:22
Y casi todo es purificado segn la ley con sangre; y sin derramamiento de sangre no se hace remisin.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 9:22
Verse 22. And almost all things are-purged with blood] The apostle says almost, because in some cases certain vessels were purified by water, some by fire, Num. xxxi. 23, and some with the ashes of the red heifer, Num. xix. 2-10, but it was always understood that every thing was at first consecrated by the blood of the victim. And without shedding of blood is no remission.] The apostle shows fully here what is one of his great objects in the whole of this epistle, viz. that there is no salvation but through the sacrificial death of Christ, and to prefigure this the law itself would not grant any remission of sin without the blood of a victim. This is a maxim even among the Jews themselves, hrpk ya db ala ein capparah ella bedam, "There is no expiation but by blood." Yoma, fol. 5, 1; Menachoth, fol. 93, 2. Every sinner has forfeited his life by his transgressions, and the law of God requires his death; the blood of the victim, which is its life, is shed as a substitute for the life of the sinner. By these victims the sacrifice of Christ was typified.
He gave his life for the life of the world; human life for human life, but a life infinitely dignified by its union with God.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood , etc..] All except a few things, as the Arabic version renders it; for some things were cleansed by water, and others purged by fire, ( Numbers 31:23).
Some join the word almost with the word purged, as if the sense was, that all things were purged by blood, but not perfectly, only almost; but the former sense is best. And without shedding of blood is no remission ; that is, of sin; there was no typical remission without it; and there can be no real remission but by, the blood of Christ; no instance can be given of pardon without it; if it could have been otherwise, the blood of Christ had not been shed; for so it would seem to be shed in vain, and his satisfaction to be unnecessary; nor is it agreeable to the justice of God to forgive sin without satisfaction; nor is it consistent with his veracity, and faithfulness to his word, ( Genesis 2:17). It is a common saying with the Jews, and often to be met with in their writings, db ala hrpk ya , there is no atonement but by blood f201 ; by the shedding of blood; not by the shedding of it, as it flows out of the body of the sacrifice, but as it is poured out on the altar; for the pouring of the blood at the four corners, and at the bottom of the altar, were the chief rites required in sacrifices; nor did they reckon expiation to be expiation, unless the altar was moistened by the blood of the sacrifice f202 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-22 - The solemn transactions between God and man, are sometimes called covenant, here a testament, which is a willing deed of a person bestowing legacies on such persons as are described, and it only take effect upon his death. Thus Christ died, not only to obtain the blessings of salvation for us, but to give power to the disposal of them. All, by sin, were become guilty before God, had forfeited ever thing that is good; but God, willing to show the greatness of his mercy, proclaimed a covenant of grace. Nothing could be clean to sinner, not even his religious duties; except as his guilt was don away by the death of a sacrifice, of value sufficient for that end, an unless he continually depended upon it. May we ascribe all real goo works to the same all-procuring cause, and offer our spiritual sacrifices as sprinkled with Christ's blood, and so purified from their defilement.

22. The historical facts are summed up, emphasizing one point - cleansing by blood.
Almost all things (scedon-panta). The A.V. is wrong. Sxedon almost or nearly is prefixed to the entire clause, and applies to both its members. Rend. "and I may almost say, it is in blood," etc. Almost provides for such exceptions as Exod. xix. 10; xxxii. 30-32; v. 11-13; Lev. xv. 5; xvi. 26-28; xxii. 6; Num. xvi. 46-48; xxxi. 23, 24; Psalm li. 1-17; xxxii. 1, 2. And without shedding of blood is no remission (kai cwriv aimatekcusiav ou ginetai afesiv). This sentence also is covered by "I may almost say." It does not state that without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins, which "would be in conflict with the history and literature of the Old Testament." 214 See exceptions above. aimatekcusia shedding of blood, N.T.o , o LXX, o Class. Ouj ginetai afesiv, lit. remission does not take place or ensue. For afesiv see on Jas. v. 15; most frequent in Luke and Acts. In Hebrews only here and ch. x. 18. Commonly with a genitive, in the phrase remission of sins: but sometimes absolutely as here, Mark iii. 29; Luke iv. 18.
