Genesis 9:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]For surely I will require your blood, wherein your lives are: at the hands of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of a man’s [b]brother will I require the life of man.
6 Who so (A)sheddeth man’s blood, [c]by man shall his blood be shed: (B)for in the [d]image of God hath he made man.
7 But bring ye forth fruit and multiply: grow plentifully in the earth, and increase therein.
