Sprinkling of blood at the Passover · dominant
In Hebrews 11:28, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the clause about instituting the Passover; the APB renders the verse, “By faith he instituted the Passover and the sprinkling of blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Hebrews 11:28, the APB presents the clause as “the sprinkling of blood.” This wording confirms the verse's presentation without isolating each term mechanically.
