Surely I will require [a](A)your lifeblood; [b](B)from every beast I will require it. And [c]from every man, [d]from every man’s brother I will require the life of man.

(C)Whoever sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed,
For (D)in the image of God
He made man.
“As for you, (E)be fruitful and multiply;
[e]Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.”
