Exodus 24:4

4And aMoses wrote down all the words of the Lord. He rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve bpillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

Hebrews 9:18-23

18Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated cwithout blood. 19For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took dthe blood of calves and goats, ewith water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20saying, fThis is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.” 21And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both gthe tent and all the vessels used in worship. 22Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and hwithout the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

23Thus it was necessary for ithe copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
