1And God gave his blessing to Noah and his sons, and said, Be fertile, and have increase, and make the earth full.
2And the fear of you will be strong in every beast of the earth and every bird of the air; everything which goes on the land, and all the fishes of the sea, are given into your hands.
3Every living and moving thing will be food for you; I give them all to you as before I gave you all green things.
4But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food.
5And for your blood, which is your life, will I take payment; from every beast I will take it, and from every man will I take payment for the blood of his brother-man.
6Whoever takes a man's life, by man will his life be taken; because God made man in his image.
7And now, be fertile and have increase; have offspring on the earth and become great in number.
