Genesis 9:1-7

The New Post-Flood Mandate

Genesis 9:1-7
1
God blessed Noach and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth.
2
The fear and dread of you will be upon every wild animal, every bird in the air, every creature populating the ground, and all the fish in the sea; they have been handed over to you.
3
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you; just as I gave you green plants before, so now I give you everything —
4
only flesh with its life, which is its blood, you are not to eat.
5
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.
6
Whoever sheds human blood, by a human being will his own blood be shed; for God made human beings in his image.
7
And you people, be fruitful, multiply, swarm on the earth and multiply on it.”
