Genesis 9:2-5
English Standard Version
2 (A)The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. 3 (B)Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And (C)as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its (D)life, that is, its blood. 5 And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: (E)from every beast I will require it and (F)from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man.
