Genesis 9:6

God's Covenant With Noah

⁵ 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. 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.
