Genesis 9:1-4

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.
