Heb 9:22 And according to the TORAH, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood,
and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
There are many deceptions among those who say they know Yahuah and have turned to the vegan gospel teaching that Torah had some sacrifices which were bloodless and hence shedding of blood was not a requirement for remission of sins. They even deny the Master who bought them by saying that he came to abolish the sacrifices by his freewill offering of himself which is partly true but their emphasis is that blood stains the garments and blood stains are not washed off, so the cleansing was with water only. Hence they have come to believe that the scriptures are tampered with and have gone outside scriptures to abominable books as homilies, lost book of Eden, gospel of the holy 12, humane gospel etc
What they fail to see is Yahusha came not only by water but by water and blood and through the sprinkling of his blood in a renewed way one can enter the Most-Set Apart place.
Heb 10:19 So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20 by a renewed and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
So you see the complete truth is in the verse, by his blood by a renewed and living way which he instituted for us we enter the Most Set apart place, not by the old way in which the high priest once a year entered with the blood of bulls and goats.
1Jn 5:6 This is the One that came by water and blood: יהושע Messiah, not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth.
1Jn 5:7 Because there are three who bear witness:
1Jn 5:8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in agreement.
1Jn 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of Elohim is greater, because this is the witness of Elohim which He has witnessed concerning His Son.
The Ruach witnesses through the sacrifice of Yahusha ha Mashiyach agreeing that he came by water and blood, the elements to cleanse us.
Heb 10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in completeness of belief, having our hearts sprinkled from a wicked conscience and our bodies washed with clean water.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, having now been declared right by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Blood and water mingled were the mark of a sacrifice in the old Temple. Water from the laver washed clean the pieces of the sacrifice to be offered on the Altar
Now coming back to Heb 9:22
Heb 9:22 And according to the TORAH, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
In Torah there was one sin offering which people pick up to show it was a bloodless sacrifice without understanding Torah teaching blood was not a criteria for the remission of sins as Heb 9:22 says 'one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood...'
First lets look at the so called bloodless sacrifice and understand the phrase 'one may almost say' at the end after we have understood the offering
Lev 5:6 He shall also bring his guilt offering to Yahuah for his sin which he has committed, a kid from the flock, a lamb or an ewe of the goats as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin.
Lev 5:7 But if his hand cannot reach sufficient for a lamb, then he shall bring to Yahuah his guilt offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
Lev 5:8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first that which is for the sin offering and shall nip its head at the front of its neck, but he shall not sever it.
Lev 5:9 He shall also sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar: it is a sin offering.
Lev 5:10 The second he shall then prepare as a burnt offering according to the ordinance. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
Lev 5:11 But if his hand cannot reach sufficient for two turtledoves or for two young pigeons, then for his offering for that which he has sinned, he shall bring the tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall not put oil on it nor place frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
Lev 5:12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as its memorial portion and shall burn it as incense on the altar, with/al (ayin lamed) the fire offerings of Yahuah: it is a sin offering.
Lev 5:13 So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has committed from one of these, and it shall be forgiven him; then the rest shall become the priests, like the grain/manchah H4503 offering.
Lev 6:14 ‘And this is the Torah of the grain offering/manchah H4503: The sons of Aharon shall bring it near before יהוה, in front of the altar,
KJV translates the 'manchah' as 'meat offering' because scribe translators couldn't see an offering without shedding of blood offered on the brazen altar
'Manchah offering' was LIKE the sin offering, not the sin offering itself but a memorial offering. The 1/10th of Ephah of fine flour was the sin offering (which we will look a little later) and equals to the incense offering because of the oil and frankincense added to it.
This 'manchah offering' is LIKENED to the poorest mans sin/guilt offering. The one who couldn't afford a lamb/ram/goat etc had an option of offering a pair of two turtle doves/two young pigeons (still a blood sacrifice) but even if they couldn't offer a pair of two turtle doves/two young pigeons could still offer an offering made by fine flour.
The difference between the sin offering of one tenth of ephah of fine flour and manchah offering was that in the one tenth ephah of fine flour offering which was a sin offering, no oil or frankincense could be added (Lev 5:11) and in the manchah offering comprising of one tenth of ephah of fine flour oil and frankincense were to be added because it was a type of incense offering and type of sin offering but not the incense and sin offering.
There are many deceptions among those who say they know Yahuah and have turned to the vegan gospel teaching that Torah had some sacrifices which were bloodless and hence shedding of blood was not a requirement for remission of sins. They even deny the Master who bought them by saying that he came to abolish the sacrifices by his freewill offering of himself which is partly true but their emphasis is that blood stains the garments and blood stains are not washed off, so the cleansing was with water only. Hence they have come to believe that the scriptures are tampered with and have gone outside scriptures to abominable books as homilies, lost book of Eden, gospel of the holy 12, humane gospel etc

Heb 10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in completeness of belief, having our hearts sprinkled from a wicked conscience and our bodies washed with clean water.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, having now been declared right by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Blood and water mingled were the mark of a sacrifice in the old Temple. Water from the laver washed clean the pieces of the sacrifice to be offered on the Altar
Now coming back to Heb 9:22
Heb 9:22 And according to the TORAH, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
In Torah there was one sin offering which people pick up to show it was a bloodless sacrifice without understanding Torah teaching blood was not a criteria for the remission of sins as Heb 9:22 says 'one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood...'
First lets look at the so called bloodless sacrifice and understand the phrase 'one may almost say' at the end after we have understood the offering
Lev 5:6 He shall also bring his guilt offering to Yahuah for his sin which he has committed, a kid from the flock, a lamb or an ewe of the goats as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin.
Lev 5:7 But if his hand cannot reach sufficient for a lamb, then he shall bring to Yahuah his guilt offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
Lev 5:8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first that which is for the sin offering and shall nip its head at the front of its neck, but he shall not sever it.
Lev 5:9 He shall also sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar: it is a sin offering.
Lev 5:10 The second he shall then prepare as a burnt offering according to the ordinance. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
Lev 5:11 But if his hand cannot reach sufficient for two turtledoves or for two young pigeons, then for his offering for that which he has sinned, he shall bring the tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall not put oil on it nor place frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
Lev 5:12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as its memorial portion and shall burn it as incense on the altar, with/al (ayin lamed) the fire offerings of Yahuah: it is a sin offering.
Lev 5:13 So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has committed from one of these, and it shall be forgiven him; then the rest shall become the priests, like the grain/manchah H4503 offering.
The sin offering consisted of the goat/lamb (a rich/common man offering), two turtle doves or young pigeons (poor man's offering) and tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering (the poorest man's offering). The sacrifice in dispute as a bloodless sacrifice is the tenth of an ephah of fine flour stated in Lev 5:11
This offering has to be understood in it's entirety because this was like the manchah/grain offering but not the manchah offering.
Lev 6:15 Then he shall lift up from it a handful of the fine flour/salat H5560 of the grain offering/manchah H4503, with its oil and all the incense that is on the grain offering/manchah H4503, and he shall make it as incense on the altar, a soothing aroma, as its memorial offering/azakartah H234 to יהוה.
Lev 6:16 ‘Then Aharon and his sons eat the rest of it. It is eaten with unleavened bread, in the set-apart place. They eat it in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
Lev 6:17 ‘It is not baked with leaven. I have given it to them as their portion of My offerings made by fire, it is most set-apart, LIKE THE SIN OFFERING and the guilt offering.
Lev 6:18 ‘All the males among the children of Aharon eat it – a law forever in your generations concerning the offerings made by fire to יהוה. All that touches them is to be set-apart.’ ”
'Manchah offering' was LIKE the sin offering, not the sin offering itself but a memorial offering. The 1/10th of Ephah of fine flour was the sin offering (which we will look a little later) and equals to the incense offering because of the oil and frankincense added to it.
This 'manchah offering' is LIKENED to the poorest mans sin/guilt offering. The one who couldn't afford a lamb/ram/goat etc had an option of offering a pair of two turtle doves/two young pigeons (still a blood sacrifice) but even if they couldn't offer a pair of two turtle doves/two young pigeons could still offer an offering made by fine flour.
Manchah offering:
Lev 2:1 ‘And when anyone brings a grain offering/manchah H4503 to יהוה, his offering is to be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it,
Yahuah is very particular in his instructions. Just as he mentions here in Lev 2:12 that the manchah should not be offered on the altar of incense and tells where it should be offered as stated in Exo 29:38-41 & 40:29 (on the altar of burnt sacrifices), he tells in Exo 30:9 that no manchah offering should be offered on the altar of incense.
Coming back to understand the 1/10th of ephah of fine flour the poorest man's offering ,Leviticus 5:12 clears the thin air
The most appropriate prepositions in translating ‘al’ to English here would be above,after, among, over & with which shows the sin offering which was like the manchah offering went above or over the burnt offering, it went after the burnt offering, it went among the burnt offerings and it went with the burnt offering, not solo.
Lev 2:1 ‘And when anyone brings a grain offering/manchah H4503 to יהוה, his offering is to be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it,
Lev 2:2 and he shall bring it to the sons of Aharon, the priests, and he shall take from it his hand filled with fine flour and oil with all the frankincense. And the priest shall burn it as a memorial offering/ azakartah H234 on the altar, an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
Sin offering:
Lev 5:11 ‘But if he is unable to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he who sinned shall bring for his offering one-tenth of an ĕphah of fine flour as a sin offering. He puts no oil on it, nor does he put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
Lev 6:15 Then he shall lift up from it a handful of the fine flour/salat H5560 of the grain offering/manchah H4503, with its oil and all the incense that is on the grain offering/manchah H4503, and he shall make it as incense on the altar, a soothing aroma, as its memorial offering/azakartah H234 to Yahuah.
Lev 6:17 It is not baked with leaven. I have given it to them as their portion of My offerings made by fire, it is most set-apart, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
This was the only sin offering (1/10th of ephah of fine flour) which the priests were allowed to eat just as the manchah offering.
Lev 6:17 It is not baked with leaven. I have given it to them as their portion of My offerings made by fire, it is most set-apart, like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
It had not to be burnt on the incense altar but the brazen altar where sacrifices were burnt.
Lev 2:12 ‘Bring them to יהוה as an offering of the first-fruits, but they are not burned on the altar of incense
Exo 40:29 And he put the altar of burnt offering before the door of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the grain offering/manchah H4503, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.
Exo 30:8 “And when Aharon lights the lamps between the evenings, he shall burn incense on it – a continual incense before יהוה throughout your generations.
Exo 30:9 “Do not offer strange incense on it (altar of incense), or a burnt offering, or a grain offering/manchah H4503, and do not pour a drink offering on it.

Lev 5:12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as its memorial portion and shall burn it as incense on the altar, with/al (ayin lamed) the fire offerings of Yahuah: it is a sin offering.
The above is the correct translation of the verse, a preposition is the cause of the confusion and that word is 'al' (ayin lamed) which ISR 1998, TS20009 and KJV translates it as 'according to' which dilutes the meaning.
Lev 5:12 ‘And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his hand filled with it as a remembrance portion, and burn it on the altar according to/al the offerings made by fire to יהוה. It is a sin offering. ISR1998
Lev 5:12 ‘And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his hand filled with it as a remembrance portion, and burn it on the slaughter-place according to/al the offerings made by fire to יהוה. It is a sin offering. TS2009
Lev 5:12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to/al the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering. KJV
H5921 עַל Properly the same as H5920 used as a preposition (in the singular or plural, often with prefix, or as conjugation with a particle following); above, over, upon, or against (yet always in this last relation with a downward aspect) in a great variety of applications: - above, according to (-ly), after, (as) against, among, and, X as, at, because of, beside (the rest of), between, beyond the time, X both and, by (reason of), X had the charge of, concerning for, in (that), (forth, out) of, (from) (off), (up-) on, over, than, through (-out), to, touching, X with.
Thus the poorest man's sin offering of one tenth of ephah of fine flour was clubbed with the burnt offering already on the altar along with the rich man's or common man's offering to make an atonement for him.
It is not new in Torah the way Yahuah dealt with the poorest people of the land of Yasharal. He even shows us from where they got the one tenth ephah of fine flour
Lev 23:22 ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land do not completely reap the corners of your field when you reap, and do not gather any gleaning from your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ”
Whichever harvest (including the wheat harvest) a Yahudite reaped, he was asked to leave the corners of the field when they reap and also what falls off itself when they carry the bundles of the harvest for the poorest of the land.
Lev 19:9 ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land, do not completely reap the corners of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.
Lev 19:10 ‘And do not glean your vineyard or gather every grape of your vineyard, leave them for the poor and the stranger. I am יהוה your Elohim.
Even there was law of Sabbath of years where every 6 & 49 years they sowed and reaped but the 7th & 50th year they were not to sow or reap but eat what grows of itself so that they could eat and allow the poor of the land to eat of what grows of itself. Please read Leviticus 25 to understand these laws in detail.
Exo 23:10 “And for six years you are to sow your land, and shall gather its increase,
Exo 23:11 but the seventh year you are to let it rest, and shall leave it, and the poor of your people shall eat. And what they leave, the beasts of the field eat. Do the same with your vineyard and your oliveyard.
This is where Yasharal failed in keeping Yahuah's commands. When any of a brother would become poor they were required to sustain him and they were to help him by allowing him to stay with them like a stranger or sojourner taking no interest from him or profit and provide for him, and if he wants to serve then he was to be taken as a hired servant and not a slave. Torah shows compassion to bring the poor out of his poverty so that he could stand before Yahuah year by year not without an offering being blessed of the work of his hands.
Lev 25:35 ‘And when your brother becomes poor, and his hand has failed with you, then you shall sustain him, and he shall live with you, like a stranger or a sojourner.
Lev 25:36 ‘Take no interest from him, or profit, but you shall fear your Elohim, and your brother shall live with you.
Lev 25:37 ‘Do not lend him your silver on interest, and do not lend him your food for profit.
Lev 25:38 ‘I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to give you the land of Kenaʽan, to be your Elohim.
Lev 25:39 ‘And when your brother who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, do not make him serve as a slave.
Lev 25:40 ‘But as a hired servant, as a settler he is with you, and serves you until the Year of Jubilee.
The same applies to when he in poverty sells part of his possession, a closer relative was required to redeem it and in the jubilee the land would return back to him even if he couldn't repay the whole part of the redemption. This was again an act of kindness shown towards the poor to uplift him from his poverty to be able to be sustained to serve Yahuah in the land and offering Yahuah the increase of the work of his hands.
Lev 25:25 ‘When your brother becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and his redeemer, a close relative comes to redeem it, then he shall redeem what his brother sold.
Lev 25:26 ‘And when the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it,
Lev 25:27 then let him count the years since its sale, and return the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he shall return to his possession.
Lev 25:28 ‘And if his hand has not found enough to give back to him, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee. And it shall be released in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his possession.
While these laws Yasharal failed to keep, these laws points to our kinsman redeemer who for our sake became poor so that through his poverty we might become rich (not in worldly goods) so that we could stand before Aluahym.
2Co 8:9 For you know the favour of our Master יהושע Messiah, that being rich, He became poor for your sake, so that you might become rich through His poverty.
The Renewed Testament upholds the laws of compassion. Speaking of the service to the set-apart ones Shaul said....
2Co 9:6 And this: He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows on blessing shall also reap on blessing.
2Co 9:7 Let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not of grief or of necessity, for Elohim loves a joyous giver.
2Co 9:8 And Elohim is able to make all favour overflow toward you, that you, always having all you need in every way, have plenty for every good work.
2Co 9:9 As it has been written, “He scattered abroad, He gave to the poor, His righteousness remains forever.” Psalms 112:9
Gal 2:9 So when Yaʽaqoḇ, Kĕpha, and Yoḥanan, who seemed to be supports, came to know the favour that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnaḇah the right hand of fellowship, in order that we go to the gentiles and they to the circumcised,
Gal 2:10 only that we might remember the poor, which I myself was eager to do.
Jas 2:15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in need of daily food,
Jas 2:16 but one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” but you do not give them the bodily needs, what use is it?
The poor man's offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour without oil and frankincense i.e. the sin offering was an exception showing the fulfillment by Yahusha in lifting up the poor brother from the deep poverty to make him rich before Aluahym in himself. This sin offering was clubbed with the already burning blood sacrifice on the altar just as the manchah offering was.
Lev 5:11 ‘But if he is unable to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he who sinned shall bring for his offering one-tenth of an ĕphah of fine flour as a sin offering. He puts no oil on it, nor does he put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
Lev 5:12 ‘And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his hand filled with it as a remembrance portion, and burn it on the altar WITH the offerings made by fire to יהוה. It is a sin offering.
I suggest the reader also read my study on 'manchah offering' which was like the sin offering to understand why Qayin (Cain's) sacrifice was rejected by Yahuah while Abel's was accepted and Aluahym testifies of Abel's 'manchatayu' (translated as gifts in Hebrews). The 'manchatayu' is plural shown as below:
Manchatayu: The manchatayu has the root word H4289 'machatah' which means 'censer, firepan, snuffdish' used in sacrifices, the same word 'machatah' H4288 means 'destruction'. It also has the root word 'chatah' H2846 which means 'to lay hold of, especially to pick up fire'
The picture is of the manchah put in the firepan of the brazen altar and is consumed along with the sacrifice in it. Hence 'manchatayu' is all the elements that make up and used in a sacrifice + the manchah
Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered to Elohim a better sacrifice than Cain,
by which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, Elohim testifying about his gifts/manchatayu,
and by it, he being dead yet speaks.
Qayin offered the fruit of the ground i.e. the one tenth of an ephah of fine flour solo and disobeyed what was taught to him by his father Adam that he had to offer it 'WITH' the offerings made by fire to Yahuah while Abel offered his manchah WITH the sacrifice of his first born from his flocks.
Gen 4:3 And it came to be, in the course of time, that Qayin brought an manchah/H4503 of the fruit of the ground to יהוה.
The text says Qayin offered the manchah of fruit of the ground to Yahuah and we already saw what manchah consists of i.e. one tenth of ephah of fine flour with oil and frankincense. I don't know how people say he brought fruits and vegetables :)
Gen 4:4 And Heḇel also brought of the first-born of his flock and of their fat. And יהוה looked to Heḇel and his manchah H4503,
There was no written Torah until then but by word of mouth from fathers to his sons. That's how Abel knew and offered in details of what was required to be accepted by Yahuah. How would Noach know what were clean animals which needed to be taken inside the ark, and what clean animals he had to offer unless not taught to him by his father?
Gen 8:20 And Noaḥ built an altar to יהוה, and took of every clean beast and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Now that we saw the one tenth of an ephah of fine flour offering both as a manchah as well as the sin offering when we visit Heb 9:22 we understand that the one almost saying it was a bloodless offering would be the one who would pause to understand the Torah of this offering to understand to conclude as what is written in the latter part of the same verse '.....and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness'
Heb 9:22 And according to the TORAH, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
