almost everything is cleansed with blood

Making something acceptable to God is spoken of as if it were cleansing that thing. This idea can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "the priests use blood to cleanse almost everything" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness

Here "shedding of blood" refers to something dying as a sacrifice to God. This double negative can mean that all forgiveness comes through the shedding of blood. Alternate translation: "Forgiveness only comes when something dies as a sacrifice" or "God only forgives when something dies as a sacrifice" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives)

forgiveness

You can state explicitly the implied meaning. Alternate translation: "forgiveness of the sins of the people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
