Genesis 9:5-7

5For your lifeblood I will surely exact punishment, from every living creature I will exact punishment. From each person I will exact punishment for the life of the individual since the man was his relative.

6“Whoever sheds human blood, by other humans must his blood be shed; for in God’s image God has made humankind.”

7But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; increase abundantly on the earth and multiply on it.”
