Details Beyond Exodus
Commentators note that the author of Hebrews includes details (goats, water, scarlet wool, hyssop, sprinkling the book) not found in the Exodus 24 account. This is not seen as an error, but a deliberate theological move. The author likely draws from other purification rituals in the Law or from accepted Jewish tradition to create a richer, more complete picture of what covenant ratification required, emphasizing the central role of blood.
