1. God blessed Noah and his sons, and He said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the land.
2. The fear and terror of you will be on every wild animal, and on every flying creature of the sky, with everything that crawls on the ground and with all the fish of the sea—into your hand they are given.
3. Every crawling thing that is alive will be food for you, as are the green plants—I have now given you everything.
4. Only flesh with its life—that is, its blood—you must not eat!
5. Surely your lifeblood will I avenge. From every animal and from every person will I avenge it. From every person’s brother will I avenge that person’s life.
