Genesis 9:5

And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

And surely {H389} your blood {H1818} of your lives {H5315} will I require {H1875}; at the hand {H3027} of every beast {H2416} will I require it {H1875}, and at the hand {H3027} of man {H120}; at the hand {H3027} of every man's {H376} brother {H251} will I require {H1875} the life {H5315} of man {H120}.

I will certainly demand an accounting for the blood of your lives: I will demand it from every animal and from every human being. I will demand from every human being an accounting for the life of his fellow human being.

And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:

And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, will I require the life of man.
