‏ Hebrews 13:11

 Of those beasts whose blood ( ων ζωων το αιμα τουτων ). The antecedent ( ζωων ) of  ων is here incorporated and attracted into the case of the relative, "the blood of which beasts" and then  τουτων (genitive demonstrative) is added, "of these." Cf. Le 4:12f.,21; 16:27 for the Old Testament ritual in such cases. This is the only example in the LXX or N.T. where  ζωων (animal) is used of a sacrificial victim. See also Ex 29:14; 32:26f. for burning without the camp.
