Genesis 9:1-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

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

2 The fear and terror of you will be in every living creature on the earth, every bird of the sky, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are placed under your authority.

3 Every living creature will be food for you; as [I gave] the green plants, I have given you everything.

4 However, you must not eat meat with its lifeblood in it.

5 I will require the life of every animal and every man for your life and your blood. I will require the life of each man's brother for a man's life.

6 Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in His image.

New International Version NIV

1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.

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.
