Genesis 9:1-7

The Message Bible MSG

1 God blessed Noah and his sons: He said, "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill the Earth!

2 Every living creature - birds, animals, fish - will fall under your spell and be afraid of you. You're responsible for them.

3 All living creatures are yours for food; just as I gave you the plants, now I give you everything else.

4 Except for meat with its lifeblood still in it - don't eat that.

5 "But your own lifeblood I will avenge; I will avenge it against both animals and other humans.

6 Whoever sheds human blood, by humans let his blood be shed, Because God made humans in his image reflecting God's very nature.

7 You're here to bear fruit, reproduce, lavish life on the Earth, live bountifully!"

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.

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