Blood thicker than water?

An elder used this during his midweek part a week ago.

 

You’ve Been Using ‘Blood Is Thicker Than Water’ Incorrectly Your Entire Life

 

<<This is one of many Bible verses that has been misadapted for common use, because the word “convenant” doesn’t roll off the tongue in everyday use. However, the real version completely changes the meaning. The quote comes from: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” This actually means that blood shed in battle bonds soldiers more strongly than simple genetics. Although we commonly use it to suggest the strength of family ties, it doesn’t refer to family at all.   Yup, it actually means the complete opposite. >>

 

I wonder if they misapplied "the covenant" - besides misspelling it.  To me it means blood of the covenant as in Mosaic or Messianic Covenant.

That’s what I thought. I don’t recall seeing that in the Bible. I was wondering because I did a search on it and they said it was based off a bible verse.

Side note: You structured your p pay in a way that makes one think that actually it was the brother who said those words ...
