Genesis 9:4-7
New King James Version
4 (A)But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 5 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; (B)from the hand of every beast I will require it, and (C)from the hand of man. From the hand of every (D)man’s brother I will require the life of man.
6 “Whoever (E)sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed;
(F)For in the image of God
He made man.
7 And as for you, (G)be fruitful and multiply;
Bring forth abundantly in the earth
And multiply in it.”

4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.(A) 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting.(B) I will demand an accounting from every animal.(C) And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.(D)
6 “Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed;(E)
for in the image of God(F)
has God made mankind.
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”(G)

Genesis 9:4-7
King James Version
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
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.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
