God lovingly blessed Noah and all his family and said to them, “Reproduce, be fruitful, and populate the earth. I will cause every living creature of earth, sky, and sea to fear and dread you from this time forward. They are now under your authority. You may now eat the meat of animals as well as green plants; I now give you everything for food for you. However, you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it, for its life is in the blood. If anyone takes another person’s life, I will demand an account—whether from man or beast, I will demand an account for taking a human life. “Whoever sheds human blood, by other humans he must have his own blood shed; for to kill a person is to kill one made in God’s own beautiful image.
