And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Ver. 24. That speaketh better things] Every drop whereof had a tongue to cry for vengeance; whence it is called bloods, in the plural, Genesis 4:10. But the blood of sprinkling (so Christ's blood is here called, either in allusion to the blood of the paschal lamb sprinkled on the door posts, Exodus 12:7, or else to the sprinkling of that blood, of the covenant described Exodus 24:8, with Heb 9:18) speaketh reconciliation, peace, and eternal life.
