Genesis 9:2

God’s Promise to Noah

1 So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: ^a“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

2 ^aAnd the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.

3 ^aEvery moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you ^ball things, even as the ^cgreen herbs.

4 ^aBut you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

5 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; ^afrom the hand of every beast I will require it, and ^bfrom the hand of man. From the hand of every ^cman’s brother I will require the life of man.
