Genesis 9:4-7

⁴But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

⁵And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:

⁶Whoever sheds the blood of man,

by man his blood will be shed;

for in His own image

God has made mankind.

⁷But as for you,

be fruitful and multiply;

spread out across the earth

and multiply upon it.”

— Genesis 9:4-7
