Hebrews 11:28

ὀλοθρεύων. In ADE we find ὀλεθρεύων (from ὄλεθρος).

28. πεποίηκεν. Lit., “he hath made,” or “instituted.” Another of the author’s characteristic tenses (see Hebrews 11:17). Ποιεῖν is also used for celebrating the passover (Deuteronomy 16:1, &c.).

τὴν πρόσχυσιν τοῦ αἵματος. “The effusion of the blood.” Exodus 12:21-23. The “faith” consisted primarily in believing the promises and obeying the command of God, and secondarily, we may believe, in regarding the sprinkled blood as in some way typical of a better propitiation (Romans 3:25). The word for sprinkling is not ῥαντισμός, as in Hebrews 12:24, but πρόσχυσις, which is found here only, but is derived from the verb used in Leviticus 1:5 (LXX.).

ὁ ὁλοθρεύων. The term is derived from the LXX. The Hebrew (Exodus 12:23) has mashchîth, “destruction.” Comp. 1 Chronicles 21:15; 2 Chronicles 32:21; 1 Corinthians 10:10; Sir 48:21.
