unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place: Jehovah allowed blood to be used only in sacrifice. This restriction shows that he views life, symbolized by blood, as sacred and precious. (Ge 9:3-5; Le 17:11-13; De 12:23) The blood of the sacrifices offered under the Law pointed forward to something especially precious—Christ’s shed blood, poured out for the forgiveness of sins. (Mt 26:28; Ro 3:25 and study notes; Eph 1:7 and study note) Without it, there would be no basis for Jehovah to forgive imperfect people, accept their worship, or offer them the prospect of everlasting life.—Heb 9:14; 1Pe 1:18, 19.
forgiveness: That is, of sins. As one lexicon explains, the Greek noun rendered “forgiveness” may refer to “letting [sins] go, as if they had not been committed.”—See also study notes on Mt 6:12 and Ro 4:7, where the corresponding Greek verb is discussed.
