Luke 22:20
And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.

Notice that His blood is not the New, but the New Covenant is IN His blood. It is through His blood that we receive the New Covenant. Just as Moses sprinkled the blood of the covenant on Israel, His blood is the blood of the New Covenant.

Ex. 24:6-8 And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and the other half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!” 8So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

Moses sprinkled the blood on the people to designate their obligation to the Covenant. With the New Covenant, we are sprinkled with clean water which is His Word.

Eph. 5:26-27 hat He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless.

Ezek. 36:25-27 “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26“Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27“And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. The blood of Messiah is the blood of the New Covenant which makes us clean in the sight of Elohim because He places His Word in our hearts and minds.
