Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
And almost all things are - purged with blood - The apostle says almost, because in some cases certain vessels were purified by water, some by fire, Num 31:23, and some with the ashes of the red heifer, Num 19:2-10, but it was always understood that every thing was at first consecrated by the blood of the victim. And without shedding of blood is no remission - The apostle shows fully here what is one of his great objects in the whole of this epistle, viz. that there is no salvation but through the sacrificial death of Christ, and to prefigure this the law itself would not grant any remission of sin without the blood of a victim. This is a maxim even among the Jews themselves, אין כפרה אלא בדם ein capparah ella bedam, "There is no expiation but by blood." Yoma, fol. 5, 1; Menachoth, fol. 93, 2. Every sinner has forfeited his life by his transgressions, and the law of God requires his death; the blood of the victim, which is its life, is shed as a substitute for the life of the sinner. By these victims the sacrifice of Christ was typified. He gave his life for the life of the world; human life for human life, but a life infinitely dignified by its union with God.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
almost--to be joined with "all things," namely almost all things under the old dispensation. The exceptions to all things being purified by blood are, Exo 19:10; Lev 15:5, &c.; Lev 16:26, Lev 16:28; Lev 22:6; Num 31:22-24. without--Greek, "apart from." shedding of blood--shed in the slaughter of the victim, and poured out at the altar subsequently. The pouring out of the blood on the altar is the main part of the sacrifice (Lev 17:11), and it could not have place apart from the previous shedding of the blood in the slaying. Paul has, perhaps, in mind here, Luk 22:20, "This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." is--Greek, "takes place": comes to pass. remission--of sins: a favorite expression of Luke, Paul's companion. Properly used of remitting a debt (Mat 6:12; Mat 18:27, Mat 18:32); our sins are debts. On the truth here, compare Lev 5:11-13, an exception because of poverty, confirming the general rule.
John Gill Bible Commentary
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood,.... All "except a few things", as the Arabic version renders it; for some things were cleansed by water, and others purged by fire, Num 31:23. Some join the word almost with the word purged, as if the sense was, that all things were purged by blood, but not perfectly, only almost; but the former sense is best. And without shedding of blood is no remission; that is, of sin; there was no typical remission without it; and there can be no real remission but by, the blood of Christ; no instance can be given of pardon without it; if it could have been otherwise, the blood of Christ had not been shed; for so it would seem to be shed in vain, and his satisfaction to be unnecessary; nor is it agreeable to the justice of God to forgive sin without satisfaction; nor is it consistent with his veracity, and faithfulness to his word, Gen 2:17. It is a common saying with the Jews, and often to be met with in their writings, , "there is no atonement but by blood" (k); by the shedding of blood; not by the shedding of it, as it flows out of the body of the sacrifice, but as it is poured out on the altar; for the pouring of the blood at the four corners, and at the bottom of the altar, were the chief rites required in sacrifices; nor did they reckon expiation to be expiation, unless the altar was moistened by the blood of the sacrifice (l). (k) T. Bab. Yoma, fol. 5. 1. Zebachim, fol. 6. 1. & Menachot, fol. 93. 2. (l) Reland. Heb. Antiqu. par. 3. c. 2. sect. 8.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
9:22 Many of the rituals of cleansing in the law of Moses involved the death of a sacrificial animal; blood was involved both in the rites of cleansing (see Exod 29:12; 30:10; Lev 4:6, 17; 16:14-19; Num 19:4) and in making atonement (see Lev 16). The shedding of Christ’s blood established the new covenant, providing permanent purification and complete forgiveness of sins (Heb 8:12; 10:15-18; Matt 26:28; Eph 1:7).
Hebrews 9:22
Redemption through His Blood
21In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.22According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Justice Satisfied
By C.H. Spurgeon2.8K41:48AtonementGod's JusticeISA 53:5JHN 3:16ROM 3:27ROM 5:12CO 5:21GAL 2:16EPH 1:7HEB 9:221PE 2:241JN 1:9C.H. Spurgeon delivers a powerful sermon titled 'Justice Satisfied,' emphasizing the profound truth that God's justice, which once stood as a barrier to salvation, has been fully satisfied through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He explains that while the sinner is right to fear God's justice, it is through Christ's substitutionary death that justice is appeased, allowing God to be both just and the justifier of those who believe. Spurgeon reassures the penitent that their sins can be forgiven if they confess and trust in Christ, as God's justice now advocates for them rather than condemns them. He encourages listeners to approach God with their confessions, reminding them that true faith in Christ leads to salvation and peace with God. The message concludes with a call to seek personal reconciliation with God through sincere confession and faith in Jesus.

The third fact is understanding who we are - sinners at war with God, in need of rescue from sin. The final fact is acknowledging the blessings that flow to us from Calvary, where Jesus purchased the church with his own blood.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
And almost all things are - purged with blood - The apostle says almost, because in some cases certain vessels were purified by water, some by fire, Num 31:23, and some with the ashes of the red heifer, Num 19:2-10, but it was always understood that every thing was at first consecrated by the blood of the victim.
