4. But you must not eat meat that still has blood in it, because blood gives life.

5. I will demand your blood for your lives. That is, I will demand the life of any animal that kills a person. And I will demand the life of anyone who takes another person’s life.

6. “Whoever kills a human beingwill be killed by a human being.This is because God made humansin his own image.

7. “Noah, I want you and your family to have many children. Grow in number on the earth and become many.”

8. Then God said to Noah and his sons,

9. “Now I am making my agreement with you and your people who will live after you.

10. And I also make it with every living thing that is with you. It is with the birds, the tame animals and the wild animals. It is with all that came out of the boat with you. I make my agreement with every living thing on earth.
