47.7 · Activities Involving Liquids or Masses · Movement of Liquids or Masses

pouring (or possibly sprinkling) the act of pouring something on or against something Since in most contexts this act of πρόσχυσις τοῦ αἵματος is spoken of as ‘sprinkling,’ it may be preferable to employ ‘sprinkling’ in HEB 11:28, since πρόσχυσις may have acquired a generic sense which would include the specific act of sprinkling. See also 47.16.
