1. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
2. And fear of you and dread of you shall be upon every animal of the earth, and on every bird of heaven, and on everything that moves upon the ground, and on all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they shall be given.
3. Every moving thing that lives shall be for you as food. As I gave the green plants to you, I have now given you everything.
4. Only you shall not eat raw flesh with blood in it.
5. And your lifeblood I will require; from every animal I will require it. And from the hand of humankind, from the hand of each man to his brother I will require the life of humankind.
6. “As for the one shedding the blood of humankind, by humankind his blood shall be shed, for God made humankind in his own image.
7. “And you, be fruitful and multiply, swarm on the earth and multiply in it.”
