Genesis 9:1-7

1And GodH430 blessedH1288 NoahH5146 and his sonsH1121, and saidH559 unto them, Be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235, and replenish the earthH776.

2And the fearH4172 of youH834 and the dread of youH834 shall be uponH5921 everyH3605 beastH2416 of the earthH776, and uponH5921 everyH3605 fowlH5775 of the air; with allH3605 wherewith the groundH776 teemeth, and allH3605 the fishes of the seaH3220, intoH5921 your handH3027 are they deliveredH5414.

3EveryH3605 movingH7431 thingH7431 that liveth shall be foodH402 for youH834; as the greenH3418 herbH6212 have I givenH5414 youH834 allH3605.

4But fleshH1320 with the lifeH5315 thereof, which is the bloodH1818 thereof, shall ye notH3808 eatH398.

5And surelyH389 your bloodH1818, the bloodH1818 of your livesH5315, will I requireH1875; at the handH3027 of everyH3605 beastH2416 will I requireH1875 it: and at the handH3027 of manH376, evenH853 at the handH3027 of everyH3605 man’sH376 brotherH251, will I requireH1875 the lifeH5315 of manH376.

6Whoso sheddeth man’sH120 bloodH1818, by manH120 shall his bloodH1818 be shedH8210: for in the imageH6754 of GodH430 madeH6213 he manH120.

7And youH859, be ye fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235; bring forth abundantlyH8317 in the earthH776, and multiplyH7235 therein.
