Genesis 9:5-7

5Surely I will require 12your lifeblood; 34from every beast I will require it. And 5from every man, 6from every man’s brother I will require the life of man.67Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For 8in the image of God He made man.7As for you, 9be fruitful and multiply; 10Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
