Genesis 9:3-6 New Living Translation (NLT)

3. I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.

4. But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.

5. “And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person’s life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die.

6. If anyone takes a human life, that person’s life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in his own image.
