It was by sprinkling blood that the priests applied the benefit of the animals' death to the Israelites and to objects that had to be made acceptable to God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]]) +Beginning in [Hebrews 9:19](../09/06.md), the author used the idea of sprinkling as a symbolic action. Old Testament priests sprinkled the blood of the animals sacrificed. This was a symbol of the benefits of the animal's death being applied to the people or to an object. This showed that the people or the object was acceptable to God.

For this reason, it is often difficult for translators to represent them well in their versions. In translating into English, Hebrews ULB uses the following principles: -* Sometimes the context mainly indicates a simple reference to Christians without implying any particular role filled by them. In these cases, the ULB uses "believer" or "believers." (See: 6:10; 13:24) -* Sometimes the context mainly implies the idea of someone or something set apart for God alone. In these cases, the ULB uses "set apart," "dedicated to," or "reserved for." (See: 2:11: 9:13; 10:10, 14, 29; 13:12) +* Sometimes the meaning indicates a simple reference to Christians without implying any particular role filled by them.
