So that living in the fear of the Lord your God, you may keep all his laws and his orders, which I give you: you and your son and your son's son, all the days of your life; and so that your life may be long.

But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.

Have no pity; let life be given for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Your very life will be hanging in doubt before you, and day and night will be dark with fears, and nothing in life will be certain:

Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:
