Jesus, the man, was God (
John 9:38). That man was born in the city of Bethlehem around the year 4 B.C. (and that dating shouldn't be hard either, but look at we've done!).
In any event, Jesus was of the House of David the king. Jesus was a human being. He had human blood. There is nothing in Scripture that shows us that His blood was anything other than human blood.
What made the blood efficacious for the atonement was the life that Jesus Christ lived as a human being for those 33 and one half years. He lived a sinless life. See
Galatians 4:4-5 and
1 Peter 3:18. That's why His entirely human blood worked for the atonement.
