Genesis 9:1-7

New Revised Standard NRS

1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

2 The fear and dread of you shall rest on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the air, on everything that creeps on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered.

3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and just as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.

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

5 For your own lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning: from every animal I will require it and from human beings, each one for the blood of another, I will require a reckoning for human life.

6 Whoever sheds the blood of a human, by a human shall that person's blood be shed; for in his own image God made humankind.

7 And you, be fruitful and multiply, abound on the earth and multiply in it."

New International Version NIV

2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands.

3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.

5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.

6 “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.

7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
