'Life' in the Bible

for as to the life of all flesh, its blood is the life in it; and I have said unto the children of Israel, Of the blood of no manner of flesh shall ye eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eateth it shall be cut off.

And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness beside her, during her life.

Thou shalt not go about as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand up against the life of thy neighbour: I am Jehovah.

And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.
