- And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
- "The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.
- "Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.
- "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
- "Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every beast I will require it. And from every man, from every man's brother I will require the life of man.

- Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.
- The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands.
- Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
- "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.
- And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.
