Senses in use

  1. Sprinkling associated with blood · dominant

    In 1 Peter 1:2, the accusative singular form occurs in the phrase directed toward obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; the APB renders the clause "toward obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ." In Hebrews 12:24, the genitive singular form occurs in the clause concerning blood, where the APB renders "the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses "sprinkling" in 1 Peter 1:2 and presents the related clause as "the sprinkled blood" in Hebrews 12:24. These renderings show the verses' presentation rather than a precise token-by-token mapping.
