*Leviticus 17:11*

For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is *the* blood that makes atonement by the life.

Notice the definite article *the blood* which confirms to the claim made by the Author of Hebrew that the blood atonement is a *necessity* for the remission of sins!
