Genesis 9:4 Context
2And the feare of you, & the dread of you shall be vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery fowle of the aire, vpon all that mooueth vpon the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they deliuered. 3Euery mouing thing that liueth, shalbe meat for you; euen as the greene herbe haue I giuen you all things. 4But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall you not eate. 5And surely your blood of your liues will I require: at the hand of euery beast will I require it, & at the hand of man, at the hand of euery mans brother will I require the life of man. 6Who so sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
