New Testament

Genesis 9:3-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. And everything that moves and lives will be food for you. Just as with the edible plants, I have delivered them all to you,

4. except that flesh with blood you shall not eat.

5. For I will examine the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast. So also, at the hand of mankind, at the hand of each man and his brother, I will examine the life of mankind.

6. Whoever will shed human blood, his blood will be poured out. For man was indeed made to the image of God.

7. But as for you: increase and multiply, and go forth upon the earth and fulfill it."

8. To Noah and to his sons with him, God also said this:

9. "Behold, I will establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,

10. and with every living soul that is with you: as much with the birds as with the cattle and all the animals of the earth that have gone forth from the ark, and with all the wild beasts of the earth.
