Genesis 9:1-11

1And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “1Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the 2sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given. 3Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, 3as I gave the green plant. 4Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, 4its blood. 5Surely I will require 56your lifeblood; 78from every beast I will require it. And 9from every man, 10from every man’s brother I will require the life of man.611Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For 12in the image of God He made man.7As for you, 13be fruitful and multiply; 14Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”

8Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9“Now behold, 15I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your 16descendants after you; 10and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. 11I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall 17never again be cut off by the water of the flood, 18neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
